Telling you what I learned the hard way so you don't have to

I'm almost 30, and I've lived a lot of lives to get here. Different countries, different versions of myself, and a lot of mistakes that cost me more than I'd like to admit. This video is the advice I wish someone had told me at 21. The real things about discomfort, comparison, stress, solitude, and why not knowing what you're doing might actually be exactly where you're supposed to be. Whether you're 21 or 35, I hope some of these will hit and will save you some time.
