Advice for people in their 20s from someone who’s just entered their 30s....

1. Don’t waste time being fearful: go for that job that you’re certain you’re not gonna get. What’s the worse that can happen? You are rejected, but you gain interview experience. Self-doubt is really a waste of time.

2. Live in the present. Yes, it is important to plan for the future, but it is easy to put off living until it is too late. Make sure that you have no regrets about what you should have done. Do one exciting thing per year.

3. Know your worth. This applies to both work and relationships; never sell yourself short. No job or romance is more important than your self respect. Also, charge for any unique skills/services that you can offer. 

4. Don’t be afraid to leave bad situations. I left a stable but draining teaching job in order to protect my mental health. Even though this was a big risk, it was the best decision I ever made. NOTHING is more important than your mental health. 

5. Most 20 somethings feel that they are underachieving. This is normal - especially in today’s financial climate. Don’t feel bad if you are still living at home and cannot afford to rent/buy. I’m 30 and still living at home, saving to buy.

6. People will disappoint you, but most of the time, it’s not about you. Everybody has their own demons and traumas that make them behave in certain ways. If somebody disrespects you, assert your boundaries and keep it moving. Also, examine if there was anything you could have done to avoid the situation. But DO NOT let it eat away at you.

7. In love, nobody owes you anything. Even if they made a promise, they are their own person…Everybody has the right to change their mind and to leave a situation which is not beneficial for them. This is hurtful and hard to accept, but it is the truth.

8. Learn to enjoy your own company. Your 20s can be a lonely time as your social sphere narrows, due to employment, finances and exhaustion. Use this time to find out more about yourself and do the things that you enjoy. There is something liberating about eating at a restaurant alone. 

9. Be kind, don’t gossip or overshare. I am still working on this one. It is really difficult to be kind and positive in a world full of annoying people. However, your attitude will influence how you are being perceived. If you are unkind, people will laugh at your jokes but they will never trust you. They will never trust you not to treat them as you treat other people. Remove yourself from toxic people, and only share negativity (sadness/anger/depression) with a therapist and one other person that you trust. If you overshare negative feelings, you may be stereotyped as being full of drama. Furthermore, people will want you to stay in a negative place because it’s entertaining and makes them feel better about their own lives. Just don’t do it.

10. You cannot win every battle. Within conflict, it is tempting to try to force others to agree with your perspective. However, most people are set in their ways, and find it difficult to change their views and behaviours. This is especially important when dealing with toxic family members. You may never get the apology and empathy that you seek, so it is important to accept that every battle cannot be won, and gain validation internally, rather than externally.

Maybe isn’t the best on Netflix, but would also suggest ‘To Be Takei’, it’s about George Takei, but branches into more than Star Trek (his civil rights work, his time in American Internment camps). Great list though!

I don’t think people know what being gay means…

*me and my cousin walking downtown*

Random Guy: *looks at me while walking by* you look cute in that outfit

Me: why thank you sir

Cousin: aw come on bro..

Me: what?

Cousin: Bro are you gay or something

Me: No, what would make you assume that?

Cousin: Because you just let that dude call you “cute” and you thanked him for it

Me: Listen bro, i barely had the energy to come outside today and i feel like this conversation is going to take the rest of it

Cousin: Listen man all i’m saying is that, that shit is kinda gay

Me: ok lord. i guess we’re having this talk 

Me: why is accepting a compliment from another man gay?

Cousin: Because you’re letting another dude look at you a certain way that could be sexual

Cousin: you’re only suppose to say that to women

Me: Oh for fucks sake, when was the word cute ever meant to be sexual and only used for women

Me: Dogs are cute my nigga, babies are cute, any Pixar movie is cute

Cousin: you know what i mean 

Me: No i really fucking don’t. being gay means that i want to date or have sex with other men, and i don’t. So when did accepting a compliment = lets have sex?

Homophobic Cousin: Nigga you’re letting another man fantasize about dating you, that’s just as bad 

Me: How the hell do you know he wants to date me!? are you Professor X now? i can’t stop that man from thinking about me in any way, shape or form. Nor do i care what he thinks about, just like with anyone else. But even still i rather have him think i’m cute than “hey i wanna punch this nigga in the face”

Me: i take compliments as they are; nice things that people say to other people because they like something about you. No more No less

Homophobic Cousin: im just saying, thinking about another man like that is gay to me

Me: you literally model yourself to be just like Meek Mill. You have all his songs, mixtapes and a bunch of his T-shirts. You follow him on all social media’s and try to dress and act just like him

Me: Going by your logic, If anyone is gay here it’s the guy that likes and thinks about another man so much that he tries to be him

Confused Homophobic Cousin: 

Moral of this story: Words cannot make someone anything. 

Words have and always will be a way to communicate thoughts and feelings to a certain extent. A dude can say that he’s gay, but if he isn’t taking dick from or giving dick to another man, then its just words.

WORDS ≠ ACTION

If you’re so homophobic that you think compliments from another man is equal to a dick being up your ass then you need to seriously get over yourself.

We live in a society where niggas like this want to look better or be better than other men, but also don’t want any men to compliment them.  What kind of fucked up world do you want to live in? Where everyone hates each other but still want to impress each other?

Take the compliment, Smile, Go on with your day.

 No magical dick will be put up your ass if you do so

 i hate these niggas.
