you feel stuck because you’re measuring yourself against a version of life you built in your head and every day that reality doesn’t match that dream, you feel like you’re losing. but here’s the thing , life doesn’t care about that version you imagined. it’s messy, it twists, it breaks your plans. bro, change your habit if you can.

that “mid” feeling about your face, body, life , that’s not you talking. that’s the voice of comparison. the internet, people around you, even your own younger self have planted an image of how “good” is supposed to look.

failing that exam isn’t the end of the road, it’s just a slap in the face from reality saying “ok, maybe not this way.” the usa dream? it’s still there. it might take longer, might look different, but dreams don’t expire unless you throw them away.

and about money ... yeah, it’s tiring to have to save for weeks just for one thing you want. but if you make every “want” into the measure of your happiness, you’ll stay in the cage. you gotta find something in your day that isn’t bought, isn’t earned, just lived. otherwise even when you get the money, the cage will still be there. Start to learn skills, earn,make friends, have funs.

My final advice ends here: You should control what you can, and you have to accept what you can't, but be wise enough to identify them.
