i think i just need to completely give up on doing something cool and just relax and do what i should do and even if i were to end up doing something cool again, it would only be by the grace of god/the universe and only after having absolutely no expectation of doing something cool. i should just do my often banal duties as best as i can and find joy in the pleasures i have been provided regardless how mundane they may be

@shibao@shitposter.world hmm, i'd probably say, don't panic, and remember to live you're life, you're the youngest now that you're ever going to be. Career stuff is a weird one, my technical skills and abilities never really changed too much in the last decade, what did change was I got older and people naturally started to take me more seriously. Careers are something you'll keep working on til your 60/70, and realistically you probably won't peak until you're in your forties. People always say dumb shit like they wanna retire by the time they're 30/35 and it never fucking happens because even if they're in a position to do it by that age, they realise they aint even at their peak yet and there's a lot further to go. And shit, you've seen me, I've only just now broken into the big leagues and I'm about to turn forty. What I can't get back again though is to be in my 20's again. so yeah, remember to live, the cool shit will kinda happen if you keep your eyes open and don't make excuses to not do things. say yes to more things, preferably not more overtime though lole.

i dunno where i was going with this, probably just 'don't panic'. i see your gen panic all the time that if they don't make it in their twenties it's all joever and idk i'd say probably don't do that. i'd say you're already doing pretty well, keep putting a bit of cash away, don't go and get into shitloads of debt like i did, and keep working on being the best you can be at your craft, and don't hole yourself away and become a hermit workaholic like i did lmao
