any advice for 23?
just let yourself be young and explore and get it wrong and try things out and try not to let how much pain there is in this world leave you stuck, though it’s okay to get stuck sometimes, there is a lot of joy and a lot of love to experience also. you’re learning who you want to be in this world / how you want to love / how you want to move so just be gentle with yourself, you’re going thru a lot. you have a lot more time than you think
