From people who came through it

  • โ€œReading this late at night? I've been there. In 2023, that was me. The worst part: every entry job wants experience. I wake up most days without that dread. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. xโ€

  • โ€œYou don't have to have it all figured out by 25 or 30. I'm 30 and still don't. What helped me was finding one thing that was mine, like the gym before sunrise. It's not a fix but it's a start. And talk to someone, anyone. Even the dog. It sounds silly but saying things out loud makes them less scary. You're not the only one who feels behind.โ€

  • โ€œYou're not the only one who feels behind. I promise. The gap on your CV, the waiting list, the friends who seem to have it all worked out, it's all just noise. I don't have the answers, but I do know that feeding the birds every morning helped me get out of bed. Find your birds. And keep applying, even when it feels pointless. Something will stick.โ€

  • โ€œIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I volunteered two mornings a week and it gave me a reason to get dressed. Go slowly. God willing it gets easier.โ€
