I’m trying to plan my life, but I feel like I’m putting together a thousand-piece puzzle with no picture on the box

    Don’t necessarily do what everyone expects of you. Do what you need and want.

    For that, you really need to know yourself. What makes you happy? Who do you want to be?

    You will make mistakes along the way and the answers to those questions will be harder than it seema at first and also change over time. You might think you know yourself but that might change too.

    Do what you think is right and wing it like everyone else.

    Feel free to ask if you want some more detailed advice.

      That’s what my therapist taught me, as well.

      My needs aren’t always the same as the needs of the people around me. And I’m allowed to see to them
