Turned 21 today, feeling really, really old

Fellow Grapeviners, can you please knock some sense into me? For context, I've got a good-ish job that I think pays me easy money. i started working 5 months ago. lately, I'm feeling worthless and really thinking about quitting my job and do something impactful or crazy or financially irresponsible.

Help

Hey hey @PatraniMacchi It's only your first job. It's so early, you don't even realize yet.

18 feels old, 21 feels old too. Now I'm 27. What I'd do to be 21 again :) But life is quite good. The last couple of years have mostly been happy.

You start becoming more independent over time, financial limitations reduce, and you can literally do anything you want (although you still choose to do normie things ultimately)

That said, life is open, it's limitless. Good days are ahead. A very happy birthday!

Don't get into anything financially irresponsible. You might not get this easy money feeling for a long time if you get into debts.
I see freshers taking credits and loans for spending more than their salary using easy (lol) emi and god forbid incase of emergency they will be financially fucked.

Instagram is f**king you up. What impactful are you thinking about?

Something that doesn't pay me money but I can see the impact of it? And I'm not an Instagram user. I like my mental peace.

Happy Birthday @PatraniMacchi

You have started blooming, there are infinite possibilities ahead of you.

Don't easily quit what you have, try to replace it with something meaningful.

Impactful - are you sure about it, do you have any roadmap for this, talk to people who are already doing it

Crazy - do it,taking action is always works better then not doing anything, try to course correct yourself

Financially irresponsible - check with your family, do your own calculations how much risk you can take, don't take a bite which you can't chew
