  • โ€œI 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€

  • โ€œFor 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€

  • โ€œWhen I was in the thick of it, I thought everyone else had it figured out and I was the only one stuck. They don't. They're just better at pretending. Start with one small thing: a shower, a walk, one application. Not because it fixes everything, but because it stops the gap from growing. And ask for help with the money stuff early. The debt people are not scary, they're just people with a spreadsheet. You're not a failure for needing a while. You're just early in the story.โ€
