F*** “THE PLAN”
TL;DR – THE PLAN is the mold we try to force people into when they’re young: go to college, get a degree, work forever, the end. I think it’s dumb. Be yourself, follow YOUR plan, and forget about all the fake milestones, timelines, and boxes you need to check to be “successful”.
It's going to be okay
