Here lies a collection of the thoughts and arguments I have accumulated, both academic and personal, that found their way to a page to keep me from going crazy.
I have *finally* reached the fantastic stage of life called “adulthood”, but I still feel like a sixteen-year-old who needs her parents’ permission to take the car. Societal expectations are knocking on my door, the fear of failure is overwhelming, and the idea of curling up with a good book and ignoring the world is just so enticing.
My hope is that someone reading this will find something to connect with. If not, maybe you will enjoy it as a whiny kid complaining on yet another social media platform (because let’s be honest, we ALL enjoy reading those comment sections).
Let this be the first spark in many enlightening conversations and sharing of experiences from all viewpoints, ages, and success points.
