Just so you know, you don't have to listen to anyone who tells you to settle for a life that's smaller than you know you're meant for. You don't have to stay and get used to dreadful jobs, relationships, or environments because "that's adulthood for you." You don't have to play it safe in a world that mistakes conformity for responsibility. It might take time, effort, and creativity, but you deserve better than to live for the weekends, dwell in Sunday scaries, and spend so much of your precious life committed to what doesn't light you up. You know you're made for more. I hope you have the courage to make decisions that align with that truth.
