Who Defined Your Path?
Tear this shit down and start from zero
We obsessively look at others’ lives, absorbing stories and achievements that aren’t ours. The pressure suffocates you every moment because you’ve internalized a script you didn’t even write. This subtle conditioning starts early, fed by family, social, and cultural expectations that infiltrate your subconscious.
You grew up believing there’s only one path to success, a magic formula everyone should follow.
Since when did having everything figured out in your twenties become mandatory? The raw truth is that at this age, you’re supposed to be discovering your path, not competing in an imaginary race to a destination you didn’t even choose.
The beauty of this phase lies precisely in its unpredictability, in the freedom to experiment without the weight of definitive consequences.
It’s the perfect time to make calculated mistakes and learn from them.
The dirty secret no one admits?
People who seem to have their whole life figured out are also improvising. Some are just better at maintaining appearances, while others spend fortunes on therapy. Behind every instant success story are years of doubts, fears, and new beginnings that nobody shares.
Perfection is an illusion they sold us as achievable.
Stop measuring your worth by professional titles or marital status.
It’s ridiculous how we’ve been convinced that a series of external achievements determine our intrinsic value. This validation system is fundamentally wrong, creating an entire generation of people who confuse personal fulfillment with credential accumulation.
Your worth lies in your essence, in your ability to positively impact the world in your own way.
Your path is unique, damn it. There are no shortcuts or predefined routes to personal fulfillment. Society tries to fit us all into the same model, ignoring that each human carries a unique combination of talents, dreams, and purposes.
The standardization of happiness is a fallacy we need to dismantle.
Hitting rock bottom isn’t failure, it’s a fresh start. It’s when you drop the masks…
