🙋♀️ ABOUT ME:
My name is Morgan and I'm a 20-something living in Chicago who loves thrifting, slow fashion (slow living in general), caring for the planet, tea (the liquid kind and the dramatic kind), being outdoors, having deep conversations, having frivolous conversations, and of course making silly lil videos. I hope you have a laugh, learn something new, or feel little less alone while you're here. 💛

The best thing I've learnt is to work with and around my 'flaws' rather than assuming that tomorrow I'll wake up and suddenly be cleaner, more productive, procrastinate less etc.
E.g., for ages I'd tidy my dresser by neatly lining all the products up and putting everything back in drawers/on shelves. But there's no way I'm doing that after getting ready in a rush in the morning. Now I have a big bowl on my dresser, which means I can basically still drop everything after using it, but at least it's all self-contained and looks neater.
Same with reading. I used to read loads and I've tried building the habit back in, but its always the first thing to slip as soon as I'm busy/tired/stressed. On the other hand, I always have my headphones in, so listening to an audiobook is a much more organic change for me to make and I've been able to 'read' a lot more.
There's lots more examples I could think of, but hopefully you get the idea! Work with yourself and don't hold yourself to such high standards
Omg yes, I love the phrase you used: working _with_ your "flaws." I definitely spent a lot of time when I was younger being like ok, I'm gonna change and one day I'll just be a cleaner, more organized person and now I'm like ok that's never gonna happen so how can I adjust my habits to the way my brain is wired? Making that shift truly helps so much, thank you for sharing this tip!
I have the same problems too so thank you for this!
I feel this! And audiobooks have really helped me find my way back into the magic world of books :))
Please do your research before recommending better help.. there is SO many people out there that have been affected by better help in a very negative way and it is honestly disheartening that creators are still taking sponsorships from them and recommending them to their audience.
Couldn’t agree more!
I totally agree, but I’ll say this… When I first did therapy on BetterHelp, my first two counselors were amazing but I realized I needed a specialized type of therapy but the therapists on BetterHelp that “specialized” in what I was needing help on were not that helpful nor were they the most available or reliable. After that experience, I came to the conclusion that talk therapy (while it’s super helpful for a lot of people) is not the best treatment modality for me and decided to look into an ADHD coach. While it is awesome that BetterHelp has made talk therapy and counseling more accessible through virtual sessions, there are other therapies, websites, courses, etc that may provide what someone is looking for. Talk therapy isn’t necessarily a one size fits all solution.
@@AuntieAlexandrahow?
@@lindaguthrie8238 I’m sure BetterHelp has good therapists, but the 3 that I tried were dreadful. One was just never available, always changing the available slots, so I paid for nothing. Another was very dismissive of my issues, talked mostly about herself, and relied exclusively on worksheets that I was to fill out entirely on my own and she didn’t even want to review them with me. A third was downright nasty, doesn’t believe in adult ADHD in general, even though I had been diagnosed in childhood and am currently on medication with a psychiatrist, and when I sought help with executive dysfunction issues, told me that I was just not being a responsible adult and I had to “get over myself”. I can’t even imagine how she treats people with PTSD or severe depression. I spent thousands of dollars and was left in tears multiple times. Never again.
My "counselor" or whatever at betterhelp literally started crying and said "damn, how did you live through that? I don't even know what to tell you. I need to end this session" Needless to say I asked for my money back (and it was an absolute fight to get it) and never used that service again. Apparently the training is minimal at best, and not everyone is a certified counselor or therapist.
the high 5 was very satisfying
I'm so glad 😊
It really was 😅
I loved it too
Right!? Why 😭
My favorite thing about this video, is the fact that you're just living your life while you're filming. You aren't showing us a perfect background while talking about how you struggle, you're existing while doing content creation - and for ME, that is very comfy cozy, and I love that.
YES!
the idea of menus just maybe changed my life holy shit i need to start using that
right?! what a way to take things a day at a time and really honor how your brain and body are feeling that given morning
I completely agree
I would like to know how to make a menu and stuff tho
I really need one lol
@@asmolyeti6689 maybe just try listing out what your ideal morning routine would look like, with some self care steps (exercise, cleaning, meditation, etc) added and then think of that list as a menu instead of a step-by-step required plan!
being 28 - i’ve definitely felt the “y’know.. maybe 40” 😂😂
I jumped up to participate in that high 5 with a surprising amount of excitement
Yayy! I love the enthusiasm hahah
Along with not living only for future you, I like to ask myself if future me would actually care or remember whatever I'm currently stressed about
I always ask myself "Will I remember this problem/situation/whatever in ten years ?" If the answer is "no" then it's not worth fussing about it !
1:55 “I don’t think mountains implode on themselves.”
Don’t worry, in this analogy I am both the mountain and the fracking company.
as a fellow anxious 20-something who has been struggling with managing anxiety+adulthood, this video was just the most comforting watch
Aw that makes me happy-I’m so glad you enjoyed it 💛
Its such a good advise to stop thinking you will one day have everything together. There will always be something and that makes you not enjoy what you have now. Like those people that work really really hard to earn a lot of money for retirement but miss their childrens entire childhood because they were always working. We should stay in the now and enjoy what we have
Hi, 40 here, I'm thinking I'll have it sorted out by 45. But this time... I mean it!
Just do the thing now. Do the things you want to do instead of talking about doing them whenever you "feel ready" or "after I lose weight" or "when I'm rich".
I'm on my 3rd life crisis, but I feel more confidently heading into the resolution half of that narrative. :)
hopefully
High fives are ❤
I use the fine china , crystal and silver....I recently went into remission from Hodgkins Lymphoma when I was diagnosed I thought " ok this could be the end, why have I been saving these things for only "special" occasions ? I am the occasion!!!"
Yesss you are the occasion! I love that. And congratulations on remission, that is so so so amazing 💛
Thank you so much for saying this. I have this horrible habit of saving everything for a special occasion. It’s gotten to the point where I get bad anxiety over the smallest things and feel like I should be saving stuff for “later”. Like even food! It’s something that I’ve been working really hard to break. You saying “I am the occasion” resonates with me so much. I will keep that in mind so it can help remind me to use the stuff now instead of saving it for some “special” reason or day that might not ever come. 🖤 And congratulations on going into remission! 🥰
Yay. I've been raised by my parents to have pretty high standards and I don't really want to blame them for it, because it has served me well being disciplined, but lo and behold, I've also become very incredibly demanding for myself as a result, up to the point where I'm actually doing really good but I'm still criticising myself. It's definitely a growth process and I don't like people who are self-indulgent but I also realise it's okay to be nice to myself from time to time.
About BetterHelp, I had no idea there were discrepancies. I used them in 2021 or so and while I had no serious problems with the therapist, she definitely broke confidentiality and was very clear that she knew she was doing so. Other than that sponsorship, wonderful and relatable video as I get out of my 3rd(?) life crisis at 26.
She broke confidentiality? How? I never used it before. Did you report her ?
@@nickorange4881 A family member and I were using the same therapist at separate times to help us with our relationship. The therapist told me things that she wasn't supposed to, but told me "don't tell". I couldn't report her without it being obvious I knew things I wasn't supposed to.
@@nickorange4881 A family member and I were using the same therapist at separate appointment times to help us overcome our issues. The therapist told me things I wasn't supposed to know, essentially telling me that family member lied to me. The way she said it was in a "don't tell" sort of way. I didn't report her because I was in crisis, but I wish I had.
@@ericayaddow3906 Most decent therapist wouldn't even work with individuals who are related to each other.
At first i was like "ugh another productivity guru who's going to recite atomic habits", but your tips were actually genuine and realistic for people like me who are struggling with anxiety. Also the last bit about your conversation with your therapist (living for future you instead of present you) resonated with me quite a lot. Thanks for sharing your experience, new subscriber!
I also share a fear of people looking at my laptop screen in cafes even though it's nothing incriminating, so much so that I would leave the cafe if I couldn't find a private spot against the wall. I told my boyfriend about this and he said "Why don't you just get a privacy screen?" I didn't even know that was an option! So I looked them up and it's just a plastic screen you can magnet onto your laptop and it obscures everything unless you're looking at the screen straight on. If someone is sitting next to you or slightly off to the side behind you, the screen looks completely black to them. It's life changing!
Very practical video! Another small tip that has helped me manage the mess - never leave a room empty handed. There's always something that doesn't beling in the room you're currently in.
Ooh I like that!
when I turned 30 last year I had quit my phd program at a time when most people are relieved to be done with coursework and the “fun” part is around the corner. I committed to artistic pursuits and it was scary because up until then I had spent my whole life excelling academically or whatever. My therapist and I had a chat recently, as you did with yours, about the anxiety I was having thinking I should just go back to school or join the “workforce.” She didn’t waste a moment to remind me that I don’t have to right now bcos I can cover my expenses AND taking the path of least resistance wouldn’t make me nearly as happy as I am now 💛
Good for you!! I read in a book once that your brain craves the familiar so whenever you do anything "different" even if it's good for you, it'll try to get you to go back to the familiar (in your case, school) but when you feel that happening it's important to resist (if it is of course a rational decision haha) because that's they only way you'll be able to achieve the things you really want / are afraid of. So all that to say, keep going, I'm rooting for you!
I love the morning menu idea.
That’s how I get myself to workout. I’d doesn’t matter what I do, it’s only important that I do something. If I don’t feel like weight lifting or running, k can do yoga. If I am not able to do 1h, I can just do 15min. Everything counts. We should be nice to ourselves:)
exactly! I often experience "perfection paralysis" where if I don't think I can do something perfectly, I won't do it at all. It's helpful to remind myself that doing something is better than doing nothing, even if it's not perfect. especially for things like exercise, or learning a new skill !
As a skin picker in arms with you, I am TOTALLY gonna try that candle trick! It's those overhead bright lights that make me examine every little pore on my entire face, and I've never thought of just doing my skincare/night routine in dimmer light lol 😂
I think in the end we have to find a balance between caring for us now and caring for us in the future. Like retirement savings are important but also being happy now is important
I like the mountain analogy. Even if it feels like everything is crumbling and the shakes keep on keeping on, the mountain is still... there. And when you take a step back, yeah it's beautiful, and it still stands.
Wow, I needed this video. When I'm struggling in keeping my life together, I tend to imagine the "future me" as lost as I am, and I'm trying to help them. (by preparing my food or clothes for tomorrow, as a good people pleaser as I am). "Future me" is always grateful for the help of the "past me".
I'm turning 30 this year and for my entire life, I hated working out. My therapist suggested doing exercises that I would have done when playing as a child. I always loved to swim, like my parents would have to bribe me to get me out of the lake, so the fact that I never thought to go swimming as physical activity (or my parents never suggested it when we had so many fights about my weight) is kinda embarrassing 😅 I usually set a goal (kinda a new years resolution but less strict) and my goal this year is to finally take control of my skin, at (almost) 30 I still have terrible acne, so I'm talking to a dermatologist in a couple weeks to start that goal 😊
Amazing goal! Skin troubles are so difficult, so be kind to yourself, it'll probably take a lot of experimenting, but I'm rooting for you. 😊. Love the exercise tip too - finding something fun is so important!
goals > resolutions. I have the same goal and you just motivated me to start looking up dermatologists in my area!
The idea of life not being a puzzle may have just given me a lot to think about as I get ready to enter the last year of my 20s 😶💛
Im only 22 but i relate. I thought “ill have it together by 14, 16, 18…” never got it together. The routine has been a big thing for me. I have PDA autism so getting myself to do tasks can be extremely difficult. Now i just try to do things when i remember to with no pressure bc if i feel the pressure i wont do it. Hopefully by 25 some of the things i can only do every other day will be every day but rn its okay that its just when i can do it. Also loved the high five.
I am old enough to be your mother and I loved this video! Super ideas! Especially making decisions for today. I missed out on a lot as I considered the future too much. And I also high-fived the screen 😜.
Aw this comment is giving enthusiastic mother energy in the best way. Thank you for watching!! (and for the high five!)
Wow, you took the words right out of my mouth! Surprise, this is her mother! Yes, loved the positive journal as well, focusing and looking back at positive thoughts will help you in the negative times🥰👏👏👏👏
I’m 18. Med student. My life is crumbling. I feel like I found myself through you. Lots of love- m and yesss do not leave your therapy because I also did that during senior year and my life got better and then it got way worse
Working outside the home works well, typically, for people with adhd and autism symptoms because the break from home not only gives you permission to focus on work but also limits the distractions being at home can cause. You’re not distracted by chores or pets or video games or other random daily things that are “your responsibility” when at home.
I JUST found you today - watched this video and the ending has me in tears. I uprooted my life a year and a half ago and moved across the country. I have struggled since the holidays last year. I found myself in a corporate job that i genuinely don’t hate but something hasn’t felt right. I left full time photography work to find myself for the first time not knowing what I truly want to do. These tips tricks and reminders really spoke to me today. I really appreciate you 💗💗💗
"chew rocks!" morning routine genuinely made me laugh
It’s so nice to finally see someone who is just like me making videos for people just like me. Your advice is so helpful and motivating. Thank you!
Just found your video and it is exactly what I needed. The menu is such a great idea.
I’m 28 and in a burn out and feel so confused about routines and what you had said in the beginning with feeling guilty not doing your routine. Thank you so much! Loved seeing your vulnerability as well and you’re doing a wonderful job 🤍✨🫶🏼
Best regards from the Netherlands
Hey there! Thank you so much for this video. I've watched it three times (high fived each time, because it's exciting and made me feel better). This video is so calming, warm, supportive and just cozy. And so true... I often feel overwhelmed when I look around my apartment, my life... Sometimes it's really hard when you have this perfect image and inspiring plans in your head and then realize that you're miles away from it. Thanks for the great tips, definitely try them out.
Wish everyone to stay healthy and inspired. And believe in yourself, because that's important. Take care ❤
The menu thing sounds really fun to try! I’m a neurodivergent brain so finding things that work can be nuts. One recommendation for excercise I got was not to do an excercise routine but rather just find movement to do day to day/incorporating it into your daily tasks. Like “I need to go pick up this thing from the store let’s walk to the store then bus back” or another day you do a funny dance for 30 minutes.
Yeah that’s a really good tip! I don’t run much anymore but back when I used to I would literally run to Target if I needed to get something and then take the bus back just like you said. And it felt so productive bc I was both getting exercise and getting errands done. Really satisfied the brain hahah
Thank you. I needed this. I recently moved to the US from my home country, from my home town. At my mid twenties I'm figuring out things some people have had down to the tee since they were a decade younger than me. In a few months I've done and learned so much, and I feel like there's still so much for me to do and learn, immensely more. Sometimes it feels like the mountain is ahead of me (to keep using your analogy) and anxiety overpowers me, but once in a while I try to look back, to everything I've overcome and achieved,and even if it's only a fraction, I did it. It also help me to focus on everything I've gained, every little time I thought something will be hard or impossible and it turned out to be easy, when things almost fixed by themselves, or thanks to a friend's help, or every time hard work paid off. This help me accept that I deserve nice little moments when I don't stress about everything that can go wrong or that I have to do. And yes, doing therapy has been a game changer, I don't see myself ever stopping even if I'm doing great. Thank you for your video, it helped me a lot 🥰
Thank you for articulating and sharing! Hearing your words makes my imploding mountain feel less lonely. Your advice on menus vs. routines is gold!
I also have a junk journal scrapbook for my little adventures! It is honestly one of my favorite hobbies ever! I also recently started a task list and every week I’ll assign one task to each day! It helps a lot. And sometimes my thing assigned to the day is just running an errand or even a more fun activity I’m behind on like journaling. I’m glad to see another anxious girlie doing the same activities as I am! It makes them feel more justifiable to myself!🤣
Tbh this video was great. I loved all your realistic advice and appreciate your deadpan candor. I’m 31, and I’m currently in a state of flux? Things are very up in the air which triggers my anxiety. I will absolutely not be quitting therapy, THANKS 🙃 You seem like a lovely human, thanks for sharing a piece of your life with us! Sending love! 🥰
Such a real video. The menu thing is GREAT, I have sort of naturally developed that kind of system for how I spend my personal time in evenings.
This was a great watch. Thanks so much. I'm 28, and I'm super mass-crumbling internally, even though externally, I mainly just need to find a full time job. The pandemic and some family issues a few years ago really plunged me into depression and burnout, but I'm also an overachiever/perfectionist by nature, so it's been really hard to accept myself for not having things together.
For cleaning, I find myself working best with the one day only rule. Which for me is that a room can stay messy for one day, but no longer then that. Which means, however much I am hating life, at least my kitchen is always clean 😅 Nowhere else though, still working on that part.
this is the most relatable content ever! i think we lived the same timeline, it's insane how we did the same things on the same time lol, like i did literally every thing except that i went back to the corporate life and now i have a nice balance between working from home and working on site.
guys these things WORK, I've been the annoying person these past 6 months who talked about all these things to everyone i know, cus i felt like they saved my life and i should've known them sooner and i think people underestimate how important are those tiny changes for a better and healthy life.
i have a list on my notes app with things i try to do daily and now i've changed the title to "today's menu" i feel so fancy and excited to find out what's on for the menu for each day!! thank you for the mindset shift ✨
I just found you this morning, and oh goodness I need all of this! Thank you!!
Never knew I needed a video so much. I related so much to your video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas that helped you deal with... well exactly what I'm dealing with now when it comes to the anxiety to a mountain imploding on itself. I appreciate you making this video.
I really enjoyed this video and did subscribe. even though I know all those things, it's always like a brand new discovery to hear about them and it feels like a wake up call of "just because you've let life slide away these last few weeks/months, doesn't mean you can't get back up, one step at a time". I'm going to work on that this weekend, thank you :)
Just stumbled across your channel (CZcams is like "oh, you're an anxious 20-something, here you go!). You seem so authentic, it feels like I'm having a conversation with a friend at their house? I love the idea of menus > routines, I'm stealing that one!!
I really needed to hear the last one. My last job was a “well paying stable job” but I was SO STRESSED it made me absolutely hate my life so I changed jobs despite it paying less. I was significantly happier initially but I’m currently in a state of questioning those decisions as it’s unstable and pays less and I’m questioning whether that was the wrong thing to do especially when I think about my future, to the point of almost regretting my decisions. But thinking back to just how unhappy and stressed I was, I tell myself it’s what I needed at the time.
i loved all of these so much as an anxious girly who has tried and failed at so many routines
It's been a while since a video resonated this much. You hit the nail on the head on every. single. anxious. thought. (and bad habit) I've been trying to deal with!
I'll definitely be adopting your insight into my life. From an anxious 20-something to another, thank you!!
Omg you're welcome! I'm so glad my ramblings could help ya out 💛
Thank you for this! ❤ I was having a tough morning with my self esteem within my long-distance relationship and this really helped. Also gave me a lot of hope, thank you!
Micro cleans are everything. I’ve been doing more since I saw your video on ig.
I absolutely love the menu idea, I’ve never heard that before. Cannot wait to try it!
This is my first video Ive seen by you and I’m obsessed! You are so funny and genuine and thoughtful! Def subscribing!
Also your comment about life not being a puzzle to solve! That’s sooo good!
Man im so glad i clicked on this vid. Not only is this relatable and helpful as a young adult entering the real world, but you're so engaging and fun to listen to. Keep it up! You're a diamond in the rough
Omgeee you're so sweet - thank you for watching and I'm so glad ya found it helpful!! 💛
omg the menus and micro cleaning… this is life changing
thanks for providing your notions for free! it's super helpful when it's overwhelming to clean up
i love how all of these habits are sustainable but still fun and exciting!
I love how you were just doing your thing while talking to the camera. Made me feel like I was hanging out with a friend.
I'm such a serious person it's hard to genuinely make me smile or laugh, specially through videos but this video made my day, I haven't smiled this much by myself in a while, thank you
Really appreciated this video and wanted to say thanks!
Than you so much for your video ! I really needed to hear this. Will for sure use the menu from now on
This morning menu idea is going to be such a game changer. Thank you!
Changing morning "list" to "menu" is so good!!
Living life for current you is such good advice. I’m so glad CZcams recommended this video to me - lots of great advice for a fellow anxious gal. The cleaning tracker looks amazing. Thank you!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
I love your Morning Menu. I have so many things I "should" do in the morning but have never been a morning person.
this really helped me! I already use the "menus" idea, and I want to start incorporating the micro-cleaning idea. The mountain analogy definitely worked in my brain.
This video were the questions in my mind that I couldn’t express, and yet you explained and provided a great set of solutions. Thanks you 🥰
Just came here to say that I Love you going about your day while making videos; this gives me life!
your final point really changed my outlook, thank you so much.
27, and I relate to this SO much. The depression, feeling so behind and lost, and the hair thinning? Oof. It was ROUGH for about two years 😂 Loved this!
Okay this is actually SO helpful. Especially the menu concept. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Wow, I love her vibe!
these tips sounds so realistic and i love them! i will so be trying some of them out
I used to HATE folding laundry. But I saw in a video or tiktok somewhere where if you pair something you hate with something you love, it makes a drastic difference. So now I put on a tv show or a CZcams video while I’m folding laundry and it makes it 100x easier. 🤗
Thank you for the help! ❤❤
That was so engaging! I loved the high five. I did it, even took off my dishwashing gloves. I was nodding right along with you as I worked. Loved that you were doing things while chatting.
This list is proactive and realistic- I love it!
Love you, love this message ❤
I feel like we could be friends in real life as someone who is painfully introverted you really do come off so kind and approachable!
Some great suggestions! Love the the idea of a morning ‘menu’. Thank you ❤
i love this video! I honestly was expecting to see you have WAY more subscribers. you’re so funny and chill
Aw thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)
First time watching and LOVE you! Thank you for your beauty and honesty xoxo
Finding this video at 40. plz help me get my life together, plz. I did have it together for a while in my early 30s, now i'm too tired. You're right. Exercise helps significantly. My life was at its best when I was exercising doing weight lifting or group classes 4 times a week, plus walks, bike rides etc. Also I love the Morning Menu and Mirco cleans idea. Thanks chicky
This was a really good, heartfelt video. It felt like I just had a friend giving me a piece of mind - in a best way possible.
Thank you for this wonderful video! I am not as online as I used to be, but I look forward to more of your videos, keep up the good work!
The highgive was nice thank you ❤
I just want to point out that watching you clean around while you talk gives the video a somewhat welcoming and amicable vibe 🥺 thank you for sharing your perspective on quarter life crises
Girl, felt like you were talking straight to my soul. Thank you for putting all these thoughts into words, feel like I've been feeling these things but not articulating them well. Love an organized queen!! Fr tho, I feel like we would get along!! I'm doing this passion project where I interviewing people aged 5 - 95 (90 interviews haha if that makes sense), and would love to interview you as my 27 year old :) (or 28 I can't remember which you said haha)
This is so relatable 😮❤
I love this video!! I feel like it's the representation we need that there isn't one way for all and that it doesn't have to be only about aestethic:)))
the high-five actually made me so happy haha
these tips / habits are great, they're so approachable! a couple are ones that I recently started myself and have found super helpful for my (questionable) sanity lol. I love the idea of the microclean menu, sounds perfect for my ADD, definitely going to check that out~
The high five ✋ made me giggle and I did participate 😂
Love these tips. Your emotional ending made me tear up too. Live in the now and not the future.
We got this 🤗
I needed this video ❤️
The high 5 at the beggining was awesome! Thank you! 🤗🤗
Your words are super powerful so I wouldn’t repeat calling yourself anxious I would call yourself calm and relaxed extra chill 😌
I loved this video. Instantly subscribed. The tips were great but I think the overall message and relatability were my favorite takeaways. Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Thank YOU so much for watching and subscribing! 💛
You are stunning. Thank you for making content that is achievable and that is positive. People reach burnout so easily these days, we're doing something wrong.
OMG you are probably the top 5 hilariousest youtuber!! I also love this video's content! I'm of age to be your mom, but I could totally relate! Great video!
knew i had to subscribe as soon as you made me high five you haha. i’ve been going through pretty much the same thing. [overshare alert lol] i had my dream job right out of college but had to leave it when the studio was sold and all my favorite people who made it my dream job left… then moved into corporate and just had to quit because of my own quarter life crisis and feeling like i hated the way i felt after the work day, and who i was around my partner, just complaining and dreading the next day as soon as 5 came around. i had a little part time teaching job as a safety net to make sure i’m not going to go broke instantly, but it’s a contract job that’s going to end this month. i have enough saved to keep myself afloat for the rest of the year but thinking about a year from now is scary!
tl;dr i’ve been watching a lot of videos from people in our age group going through similar things and it feels like something is failing us! but i’m glad we all have each other to get through such weird times. it’s been kind of fueling a dormant desire to start a youtube channel and i think i just have to do it!!
Aw thank you so much for sharing your experience! Agreed, I think a lot of people in their mid to late 20s go through this kind of reckoning that nobody really prepares you for. And I think in the information age we've all just realized how many possibilities are out there and it can become really overwhelming trying to keep up with everyone else and find what you love and make friends and just all the things. You'll figure out what's right for you and it sounds like you're being smart about it. Also big supporter of starting a CZcams channel - it's a really fun outlet haha. Rooting for you!
