No one told me that entering this stage of life is like initially quite the disappointment. Like, life is not what I thought it was gonna be.
But then what’s crazy is that while my immature hopes and ideas for meaning in life get shattered, it’s actually possible to find deeper hope and meaning…
(to keep going)
…and at least in my experience, they’re to be found in the super mundane, peripheral places.
But like, immature teen me would’ve wanted to find them in momentous, important, and dazzling places.
The sum of life, however, is by FAR the little ordinary stuff and people and grinds.
