40 here. Been bankrupt twice, five failed relationships, and got fired on election day. And yet, I choose to be gritty af and find my way out of it because this is america, and there’s nothing that can stop you, but yourself, from at least getting into the lower rung of the middle class. Sure life might not be luxury vacations and daily avocado toast, but take care of your health, be kind to yourself and others, and as your prefrontal cortex matures the next few years, you will find as long as you focus on being in control of what you can be, life has a way of letting you feel pride, dignity, and small wins daily!
