I vote for never getting life together! I also vote for giving away all your possessions and becoming an unemployed homeless drifter. I bet you think this sounds terrible but it actually solves a whole plethora of problems.
Some people look at getting thier life together to mean have a wife, have a house, have 2.5 kids. That is such bullshit. Having those things because you want them is great. Any other reason is wrong.
Having a super well paying job is nice but having a modest job that makes you look forward to getting to work in the morning is better. Much better!
Moving out of your parent’s house is a good idea, but if you have an arrangement that works then don’t fuck with it!
Accomplishing something with your life is a pernicious lie. Shelter and food. Health insurance. Someone to love. Cats and happiness. Those are the only important things in life. The is nothing wrong with muddling through an unremarkable life!
If you burn inside to write a novel or cure cancer or feed the hungry or exhibit your genitals to llamas then do it. If you feel like you should be doing something remarkable just to do it then stop. The world needs thoughtful literate people more than it needs remarkable people. Donald Trump is remarkable. Yuk!
Think about the things going wrong in your life. Choose one problem, the easiest and least messy problem. Try thinking of one small thing you can do to try and make it better. Everyones lives are messy as hell. Don’t try to get your life together. Try to make it a little bit more bearable to live in.
There’s only duct tape and no. 8 wire holding mine together. It’s bound to all come apart fairly soon anyway. Moral of the story: quick fixes lack a lasting solution.
If you’re going to hold it together — be prepared to dig in for the long one.

I worry about what will happen if I do.
You will become a world renowned healer and lecturer. Unfortunately, the state will put your chickens in foster care.
Which most likely is just a friendly name for KFC.
You people are such trolls, hilarious inappropriate troll. I love both of you dearly. Don’t threaten my chickens with FosterKFCare.
In that same position but uhmm still hoping for the best and preparing for the worst …
