I’d agree. If college is the first time in your life you discover that you aren’t the best or smartest person in the world.... well, either way, it’s a good lesson for life. Once you give up the idea that you are some superior being and accept that you’re just another human trying your best- and learn to stop focusing on everyone else and their shit and comparing everyone using yourself as the template- you’ll be better off in life. People get disappointed or upset because they see college as a way to money, or a way to being the best. Improvement is its own pursuit. If you’re simply there to make yourself the best you that you can be, and to try and go as far and donas much as you are capable of, there’s no reason to get bent up. Life is often about perspective, and college is primarily about showin a person different perspectives they could choose to have. What you decide is up to you.
Oh man. You’re homeless? Well, don’t think I’m rubbing this in your face- but those of us who have homes actually do have safe spaces. For many of us- that’s a big part of why we work. We earn money so that we can have a place where we make the rules, where we can have the things and people we love and that comfort us near by. Our doors have locks and we have televisions and computers we control. We can come home from a long day and do what makes us happy and relax a little and not worry about what’s going on outside. We can tell people to leave or not let them in if we don’t want to hear from them. Our jobs have rules too. People can’t just say what they like or do as they please. They are required to be professional and keep to certain standards or they will be disciplined. So yeah- a good deal of the adult day is a safe space. That’s why there are so many trolls online. They can’t usually get away with behaving that way in the real world.
wait until college.
