I turned 25 a few months ago, and I've been recently getting bombarded with videos with people who've been there 2-10 years ago. (cuz that's all i click on now i guess) I should've listened to them earlier because I didn't realize how precious my time was, and I feel like an absolute fool. My adolescence was turbulent and insecure due to an insurmountable amount of reasons (I hear that a lot of people relate to this) and my young adult period was marred in self-hatred from all the comparisons I made against other people. Now that I'm out of school and trying to live, I just keep imagining how liberating it would have been if I had this amount of awareness of my life back then, when I had less responsibilities, more people around me and when everything felt new. Maybe I would've fought harder for the things that mattered back then and be more accountable for my actions, as I ultimately thought my actions wouldn't have made an impact anywhere. All my homies are going thru it too. With our collective anxiety over our age paired with how the world's been for the last couple years really amplified the panic across all facets of my life. I'm currently struggling with the meaning of my actions and my own expectations of myself, even more with family, friendships and relationships and how to use my time wisely so that in a few years I can look back and be okay with the decisions I made. As you were saying, I can probably put less pressure on myself, but damn... I can barely even handle the fact that I suddenly turned into an adult... How are you faring? Have you moved on worrying about what you were worried about 2 years ago?
The “5 year reflection” really helped me appreciate my present moment. I’m 25 now and the quarter life existentialism has been hitting me very hard even when I was 24 so little advice like this goes a long way. Thank you 💙.
Just turned 25 2 months ago and Its been crazy. I had a hard time during the pandemic fighting ansiety and depression (as everybody else who survived it, I think), for I really stayed locked in for almost all that period and I feel it impacted my sense of time and personal development. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to deal with adulthood, not being as young as I used to be and finding my place in this world. Peace!
Not only is the content of this video great but as a fellow RU-vidr I can tell this video took a serious amount of work + planning. Congrats Devamsha, awesome :)

I starting an LLC for a trucking company; It’s in its first year. it has ordinary and necessary expenses but no income yet. Because I can be an owner operator, I want to get my commercial drivers license at the local community college (Apr. $500) can I write this off as a business expense if I pay for it through the business account?
