things I needed to hear in my early 20s:
DONT KILL YOURSELF. you're not existing wrong!! this is just what being in your 20s is like.
if you live in a car-centric hellscape and rely on a more seasoned vehicle or regularly ride in a friend's, a AAA membership is 70-100 of the best buckaroonies you can spend in a year. towing, jumps, lockouts, flats, all fixed in ANY car that you happen to be in, regardless of ownership. was a great birthday gift!
don't be afraid to disappoint those close to you BUT be sure it's for a very good reason (and the best reason is to protect yourself and your peace)
pay attention to how people treat those they have power over (children, animals, service staff, peons, transient schmucks of all shapes and various other shit-upon peoples)
literally never pick up a call from work when you have a day off. don't. don't do it. you don't have a phone. suddenly you're amish. or ted kacyznski. or it was somehow propped up on the floor of the shower, right, when you were just showering, and you slipped and fell and it got lost inside your ass. deeply in your ass. deep within your supple, unabombing cheeks. it miraculously popped out again just before your next shift and that's why you were texting, okay. don't pick up your phone.
if you lend money to friends or family that you want to maintain a relationship with, psychically prepare yourself to never get it back BEFORE giving it over. if it's a troublesome relationship that for whatever reason you can't recuse yourself from directly, and the pricepoint is low, go for it. sometimes $20 can get a pest out of your hair for good
take tons of pictures of the apartment the day you move in, in case the landlord tries to snack on your deposit for "damages." find an inspection/question checklist and use it. check all the faucets, toilets and taps.
watch how someone handles your "no."
or do you feel like you can't say it? that's a problem
