Comment on I'm just a 20 year old guy, AMA
bpt11@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoI feel like my life didn’t really amount to much until I started just doing things rather than thinking about them. Keep track of every idea you have, every time you think “maybe I should try that” or “hmm that seems interesting” and then refer back to it whenever you’re bored. If you ever find yourself doom scrolling or anything like that that’s unproductive refer back to that and give something a go. It’s worth trying.

Well said. I’m 34, totally agree. I would also add to stick with something difficult and get over the initial learning curve. I learned how to longboard in college because my best friend was a natural skater, I was terrible at it starting out, but 16 years later I longboard around the neighborhood when the weather is nice. I have a couple scars from my mistakes, but years later 34 year old me doesn’t regret 18-22 year old me doing that at all.
