- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

ITS MY YEAR I AM GONNA RUN AROUND LIKE A HORSE π
oh shit I existed in this world for approx 24 years...
still haven't achieved "success" yet... not even an "A"sian smh my head.
My mom mentioned that someone did XYZ at age 22...
Wow thanks mom, very helpful.
What next? "Mamdani is an immigrant JUST LIKE YOU, and he became a Mayor, why can't you do the same?" (oh yea she already said that one) π«
"So mom, you want me to become president? π€¨"
"I was just mentioning it..." just out of the blue... not reason at all... totally not trying to covertly make me feel bad
Mom literally won't be satisfied until I become the next Gary Locke
Why did you gimme depression, mom?
π
I wonder how many votes I can get if I ran...
actually nah I have zero friends, zero networking
But it'd be funny to put "GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE FOR THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA" on a resume...
no ballot access
just a write in candidate
with two votes tabulated
π€£
I mean I can get a few "for shits and giggles" votes from Lemmy PA Residents probably
At 22 I had fallen far behind my peers in a failed attempt at adulting. That was the year I went back to school (so that I could later drop out one final time).
Don't sweat it. I am utterly convinced that the ones who have their life figured out in their 20s are the same ones who forget to actually live their lives.
EDIT, just for the record: Doing pretty fine today. Took me a while, but I eventually landed a pretty comfy life.
Hey, I don't normally comment on stuff but I do read your posts a lot! I used to deal with some pretty heavy depression, can't really just say to you that it gets better because there are good days and bad days. But exercise helps, changing to a new environment helps (new job or new gym or new meetup group), and just honestly being less harsh on yourself. Then you can try to connect again when you're in a better headspace.
Btw, if it's your year in zodiac, we call it η―ε€ͺζ² and it's generally supposed to be a difficult year for you, so make the best decisions you can and wishing you (and all Horse people) the best~
No way, my parents told me its supposed to be a lucky year...
Maybe I misunderstood?
But again its just religion, its all made up so nothing is ever consistent xD
