It reminds me the story of the father, son and the donkey!

We always need to be reminded about this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

or simply "i should have done this years ago, BUT, fuck it, im doing it now anyways"

This is where you tattoo something vulgar on your neck, put a metal spike through your nose, and then complain when you can never get a good job lol

I think you have to realize not getting into medical school doesn’t mean you failed. There are plenty of great applicants who did everything they were supposed to. It’s getting more competitive every year. There is a roll of the dice involved. You applied late and didn’t have shadowing hours. Would you expect to beat a professional tennis player without putting in all the work? And even at that, you won’t necessarily win every match. Taking the MCAT and getting a reasonable score is the real success lol

Sounds like don’t care about not getting into school, you care more about not having a path in life. You’ve got interests and are clearly smart. That’s the accomplishment from thousands of little successes. Give it time and you’ll find a career path

Thanks Ye

This is how I feel about a few things in my life, mainly my weight. I’d daydream about sending myself a text pre-lockdown to get my shit together, but obviously that’s impossible. So I’m doing it now, because 2026 me deserves better.

Aight this is my sign to murder people n sheit

Honestly, not really. I definitely dodged a bullet there. But it’s still ingrained into my self-worth and the fact that I got rejected means that I’ve essentially wasted my time and I’m at square one again, hence the moping.

However, I’m still interested in exploring healthcare because I like seeing how neuroscience (my major) can be used in benefitting people. I’m also drawn towards the idea of interacting with different people on a daily basis and the dynamic work environment healthcare may bring. But I’m still cautious in pursuing a career in it because I’ve heard of the negatives as well (insurance bs, burnout, stress, etc) so I do want space to explore it first.

As for my parents, I’m incredibly grateful in the help they gave for applications and getting me my current job and living at home, etc. But it also highlights to me how I never had the courage/motivated to really step up and make my own choices. I’m also incredibly bad at really articulating what I want to my parents. Every time we have this discussion I mumble and stammer. It doesn’t help that my dad is an really intense and impatient individual and my mom just frets and frets. And when I do say something, their counter arguments are too good and I start getting persuaded.

Yeah…… I probably really need to go and just live my life first.

Well, they will be justified by faith.

I want to claim that's a joke, but I am starting to wonder if that passage is literally what that means.

I agree, no use putting yourself through constant suffering just for wanting to better yourself.

E.g., maniac putin.

And on the other hand, avoiding judgment is not being manipulative

Not the best advice for some people......most people take the advice too serious they end up falling in the side

Also, a lot if people seem to think people are judging them much more harshly and much more frequently than they actually are. The truth is, people are thinking about themselves most of the time, just like you are. They’ve got their own problems. Be kind to other people, and you’ll find it’s easier to be kind to yourself as well

What is being ? what are we without thoughts? There has to be a ground in which is these thoughts arise

A ground of some sort, an emptiness that things come on top of it

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Ok. Just don’t take it for granted assuming it will always be there when you open your eyes 😉

That’s the point OP was trying to make. This is fleeting and the only certainty in this life is one day it and you and I will no longer be

Nietzche - slave morality.

I dont believe in climate change, I dont even believe the world exists until I open my eyes and it is there and I cannot believe there is such a thing
