Hey, just wanted to say, I know at 25 it can feel like you’re not getting anywhere, I know I did. It took a while for me to figure out what I wanted to do, a lot of what i do/how I live could probably be described as non traditional.

I dropped out of college cause I didn’t know why I was there, I worked odd jobs and in random different fields, pursued some dreams, and found something that made me happy. It took a bit longer to get comfortable with it and feel like I was in a good spot.

Being an influencer is tough to make work, cause it basically depends on a lot of luck, and the right content. Think of things you enjoy, and maybe start taking pictures posting videos of those things, if that’s the route you want to take, but I’m curious why influencer? Not rock star, movie star, or just world traveler?

I just kinda envy their life... I know it feels kinda shallow but I have always been obsessed with how they live... its not just about the money... its about the fun they have... their ability to monetize all of their personal life. They are not tied down by anything.

A rockstar/movie star?? Hmmm I am super untalented though and I hate having a management/record label that tells me how to act and who to be. Influencers really do have the best life tbh...

I feel like not having friends as a kid and not enjoying my teenage years have led me to crave the wild life those influencers have.

Trust me when I say they don’t have such a life, they only portray it on social media. By accident I got to know some influencers I followed online in real life and in 95% of the cases I did not want to swap with them and they were kinda boring. Make sth. out of your life that is free from societal expectations what is considered a “cool” life. And as some already mentioned you are 25 - chill ;-)
