I’m trying to plan my life, but I feel like I’m putting together a thousand-piece puzzle with no picture on the box

    Have 2 sets of goals, one set is measurable and achievable near term, this can be as simple as going to bed on time or doing one proper pushup or saving $5 this week. The other set of goals are for your dreams or ambitions, have something in mind worth fighting for, they don’t have a set timeline and you may not ever reach them but if you do you’ve accomplished your life goals or set up the future so someone else can get there. The important part is to have the goals and start to figure our what steps you need to get there.
    Don’t feel guilty about just enjoying life, if you enjoy getting your guilty pleasure just drop the guilt part, that’s not to say go ahead and spiral out of control but you are allowed to enjoy things that are within your reach.
    People will offer to help you with stuff. fucking let them help you, people like to feel needed and feel better when they get to help you, stop feeling guilty about accepting help. you are letting them help so that they feel good about themselves and you might accidentally form bonds with other humans.
    It is ok to be bored, healthy even. Do absolutely nothing once in a while, no music, no phone, no background noise. Just let your mind wander and decompress. I use my evening commute for this, except on science friday, imma learn about some shit on fridays, like how it is ok to be bored sometimes.
