From people who came through it
“You'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.”
First year student in Wollongong · been through young adults finding their way“I think If 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 said yes to every invite for a month, even when I didn't want to. Glad I did. Go slowly.”
Police officer M 47 · been through young adults finding their way“To whoever's starting out in this mess: you're not lazy. The job market's a joke, and raising kids is work. Keep applying, but also find something that makes you feel like you. For me it's the chickens and sunsets. It won't fix everything, but it helps.”
