Out for a walk at night by my house? No one has time for this, William.

Lauren Hemp wins the PFA Young Player of the Year 2021 - the first player to ever win the same PFA Award 3 times (and she'll still be eligible for the next 3 years!)

When I was younger, I wish someone had told me straight-up that not all adults experience “a calling”. That many of them never find particular purpose in a career. That sometimes, their job is just what pays the bills and they have to seek satisfaction and fulfillment elsewhere.

Because as an adult, this pervasive notion that there exists a perfect path for everyone, that people should love what they do, and that work is meant to function as a vehicle for fulfilling a person’s grand life destiny is not only inaccurate for many of us, it can be toxic.

The ideal is so ingrained that I have to remind myself constantly I’m not a failure because I don’t adore my job, and because I’m not rocking the world with my work. That is okay.

Sometimes, work is just work. There isn’t always a perfect career path, magically waiting to be discovered. There might not be this THING you were born to do. Sometimes, you discover that what you really want to be when you grow up is “paid”.

It should be socially unacceptable to come to work with a cold or similarly contagious disease.

It should be socially unacceptable to make your workers come to work with a cold or similarly contagious disease.

It should be socially unacceptable to pay your employees so little that they have no choice but to come in with a cold or similarly contagious disease.

If you’re an adult, do the stuff you couldn’t as a kid.

Like, me and my sister went to a museum, and they had an extra exhibit of butterflies. But it cost £3. So we sighed, walked past, then stopped. We each had £3. We could see the butterflies. And we did it was great. We followed it up with an ice-cream as well because Mum and Dad weren’t there to say no.

I was driving back from a work trip with 2 other people in their early 20s, and we drove past a MacDonalds. One of the others went “Aww man, I’d love a McFlurry.” And the guy driving pulled in to the drive through. It was wild. But it was great.

I went to a park over the weekend and I was thinking “Man, I’d love to hire one of those bikes and cycle round the park.” It took me a few minutes to go “Wait, I can hire one of those bikes!”

I guess what I’m saying is, those impulsive things you wanted to do as a kid - see the dinosaur exhibit, play in the fountains with the other kids, lie in the shade for 2 hours - you can do when you’re an adult. You have to deal with a whole lot of other bull, but at least you can indulge your inner 8 year-old.

Me, a Brit, celebrating America toppling a fascist and bringing safety back to their people:

Me, a Brit, remembering that Boris Johnson is still running our country, we’re still in the grip of a deadly pandemic, Brexit is still happening, and our government had to be peer-pressured into feeding impoverished kids by a 23 year old footballer:
