No one is coming to save us

One day I woke up and I was 29. I don’t know how time went by so fast and I don’t feel any wiser than I was 10 years ago. But now, I’m beginning to understand what many adults, self-help books and so many articles entitled “what I wish I knew when I was in my 20s” were trying to say.

No one is coming to save us. We need to save ourselves. We need to take care of our well-being and cultivate the same kind of discipline, resilience and compassion we would wish on our kids.
