ageism doesn't just hurt older people. there is a reason why you, at the v young age of 20 something, are panicking about not having accomplished a giant goal. we're taught our accomplishments, and our lives, have less value as we age. benefits us all to fight against that idea
I see so many of my really young friends beating themselves up over their peers reaching milestones first or them not having things figured out when they still have so much time and it's bc we have this idea ingrained in us that it doesn't matter as much if it happens later
It's not true, I want you all to let yourselves breathe and live and make mistakes and be ok with not reaching giant goals early. you are doing amazing, I promise you
just really want to hug young writers, you are all SO hard on yourselves. it's amazing to be hardworking and ambitious! but you do not have to have it all figured out, you don't have to do the thing NOW or set an age deadline for yourself, you don't need that added pressure
