drew told me to read this so i did!

TLDR: everything is much smaller than it seems and you should just start doing things in order to do bigger things / in order to help future you. being paralyzed means you’re not doing small things and it will make it harder to get to the bigger things.
this is fine. this is true.

pivoting directions in your career or taking risks is hard when you do not have as much money. like someone might NEED that minimum wage job to help them to survive which is why they’re underworking (i forgot the term she used) vs. looking for another job. and doing that job, plus whatever else they are doing in their life, could take up too much time for them to do things like look for another job or go to her career counselling thing.

times have changed,,, jobs like that animation one she mentioned would require experience in this day and age. you couldn’t just walk into that with no experience. almost everything now requires some sort of experience besides service jobs. it would be much harder to land that assistant job now than it was back then……….

not everyone’s life goal is marriage and children.

i think that the people who need to read this book are older teenagers because it’s kind of pointless and i feel like you would be more likely to feel antagonized once you are already in your 20s. but the book isn’t written to be interesting to the average teenager or i would even argue… for the average person in their 20s. i read a lot of old books and a lot of books that are written for people who are not me, and i’m able to push through books that i don’t really like so i was able to finish. but i can’t imagine a lot of people our age wanting to read the book or being able to get through the whole thing.

idk. most of it makes sense. i may not be want to / be able to apply what she says, but i understand it. will i apply any of it? maybe. maybe not.
