One of my favourite Reddit AMA(s) is by Louis CK a way back on April 2013. There was question by ‘MoonshineSchneider’, I’m quoting [sic] “As someone who got success, let’s say… well out of his twenties (sorry)… how did you know this is what you wanted to do even when it wasn’t always working out that well? Like how hard is it to not just say FUCK THIS and just give up/try something else? I’m 25 and I wish I had as much motivation to get shit done as you seem to, but nothing really seems worth it.
Sorry for being kind of a downer but I do think you’re great and if I ever run into you in New York sometime, I would be so excited to awkwardly shake your hand and not take a picture with you.”
And Louis CK responded (quoting his original answer SIC, include the typo): “The reason you never get answers is because you kind of meander toward the point and everyone wants to kill you. also "How hard is it to not just say fuck this and give up" is about a quadruple negative so I don't actually know what you're asking. You'll be fine. you're 25. feeling usure and lost is part of your path. don't avoid it. See what those feelings are showing you and use it. take a breath. You'll be okay. even if you don't feel okay all the time.” Btw this is the origin of widely quoted words of Louis CK we saw on internet (not from his talk or standup or etc- but from his reddit AMA on 2013). I doodle this again today because you know, I need to hear this. ‘You will be ok’ - that’s what my friend said after I bawled hysterically about my last friday’s failure to him, too. Do your own self a favour and believe that, Eugenia, as generic as cliche as it may sounds but you will be hella ok eventually, ok. We grow. (selftalk).
