hello , i too turned 21 this year and also graduated college. sorry for venting in your reply section. at first i thought i would go for job but i was scared. so now i am going for masters. but even if do masters or PhD at last i have to get a job and work.
this adult life is so scaryyyyy
I am in your situation.and i am even a year older.i don't even have my citizenship card.cuz parents keep procrastinating on that.they're on the verge of divorce.i can't even make one by myself cuz they're not deemed dead.but i say learn a skill.i don't know how to do that either.here to do everything,needs citizenship card and for that i need money.so back square one.i just keep on venting.but if your parents support you.keep up with your studies and find a job related to it.that is all i can say.or learn a skill.but if you don't have supportive parents or money.i don't know what to say to that either.cuz i myself am stuck in the same situation.i only wrote this so you don't feel bad that you're the only one living in this kind of damned situation.
Samee here!! Currently unemployed with no passion for anything at all:,) I hope it works out for all of us struggling with this right now I want to make my limited time on earth worthwhile and actually enjoy living with a job that doesnt drain me :(
I feel you. The more you live, the more you get exposed to the fact that life is full of unexpected events. It feels like god is constantly throwing dice for random events to happen to you.
And it's hard. It's hard to live with the thought that tomorrow your life can be changed in an unexpected way.
But this is exactly the lesson you are currently supposed to learn as an adult.
The unexpected is inevitable. Bad things happen, and countless of them.
But by looking only at this side - you are ignoring that the unexpected also brings good. And that bad can also bring you good (I recommend reading the story of a chinese idiom called 'The old man lost his horse').
The truth is that you don't know. And that is exactly why you shouldn't worry about it.
You are currently suffering inside your mind because of a future that didn't happen. The bad things didn't happen yet. They might not happen.
You might suddenly get a good job offer. You might meet the love of your life stumbling on the ground. You might also stub your toe tomorrow.
I think this quote representes this well - "a man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears."
React to bad things when they happen. Until then - breathe in, breathe out. Things are fine and life does tend to work out in the end.
You know the best reason to be happy and calm? Because there really will be times in life when shit gets horrible. If you have the option to choose to be calm and happy, choose that.
Anyways some practical advice - skills can be learned. You need to put in the time to hone them though.
I just turn 21 not long ago, and I got anxious thinking about the "future" I don't plan living this long, but here i am 21 years old. I haven't graduate yet, i will be next year, but after that.. then what? What should i do? Working? What can i do for work, i got nothing, no skills, no anything, im suck at everything including living the life.. reading slice of life mangas just make everything worse, we really don't know what we'll be in the future, smartest guy on class can become a thug, the most outgoing person is now working 9 to 5, it's unexpectable. I hate unexpected things, i hate the word future bcs we can't predict it. We can't do nothing but to live it, to walk it. Thoughts about future making me not to want any future.
every adults said everything will be okay, everything will work out, i am also a (young) adult, and i said no, it's not OK and i don't think it will work out.
