End of week 3, WOAH!
Glad I caught your attention with a “early 20’s crisis” heading. So basically this is what happened..
My friend via social media: what’re you going to do in August? … We could road trip
Me via social media: Wow that sounds so fun! I need to get a job at least for a bit so I can afford road tripping or another type of adventure..
** Starts an “August Ideas” page in my journal (below are some of my written ideas)
- job lined up, start immediately, work until March then do the AT
- online job, road trip and go from there
- take gmat or lsat in the fall, potentially continue my education in 2021
- the list goes on
** Starts to feel anxious, realizes I’m in another early 20’s crisis
Me: Oh man this is no bueno, *calls my bro Nat over, SOS
Nat: What’re you thankful for in this exact moment
Me: The mountains, this company (Nat & Rachel are chillin near me), this weather, my pens, etc..
** Genuinely calmed down and grounded
My mentality is so future orientated all the time that sometimes I get in these trances and they can actually consume me. Nat made this RAD point that thinking about the future can be so exciting and refreshing, but other times it can bring anxieties and a negative impact.. Story short, I don’t have to figure everything out now and it’s okay to chill. I usually spam my brothers or dad when I get in these moods and a common response from them is that I’m just along for the ride and no matter how many plans I make, it’s exciting to be interruptible and in the moment.
On the same note, but a new page, I’m in a realllllly cute coffee shop that gives me Three Tree vibes and it’s a sweet taste of my home in the Boro. This area is covered in foreigners (hecka Americans) but I’ve yet to come across any postcards..
