โFor anyone new to this: I was right where you are two years ago. Graduated two years ago and nothing. That was my life. I picked up the guitar again. Be gentle with yourself.โ
โYou'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
โI 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.โ
โReading 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
