RE: If Only! A Letter to My 21 Year Old Self

in #life7 years ago

Awesome! Really enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing. I've met a lot of young backpacker in the last few months her in SE Asia. It would do them a world of good to read this. Many of them are traveling for a few months, then will be entering the 9-5 work force or heading back to school. They all speak about it like they are un-happy and dreading their future. With all the expectations the world puts on us in various ways, I can see why the teenage and early 20s are such a confusing time for so many. Great post Ruth! -Dan

thanks so much Dan, you're so right -

Such true words!I found these expectations to be crippling, distracting and confusing as most of us do and I don't envy those young backpackers! These are really fun years but kind of agonizing too. Thanks always for your support :-)
