what up OP, I'm freshly 28. Here's what I can think up:

• Life is always gonna be difficult at times, but it won't end unless you end it. Don't think that whatever's happening is permanant

• Love is fleeting and it'll come and go, it's okay. It's okay to be alone, too. There's so many people out there. Make sure when you're alone that you're your own number one tho. Love yourself and others will too.

• If you feel like you're getting old, don't worry bc that never goes away. You're always as young as you are in the moment and that's it. Don't feel bad if you ever feel "behind" in life. I've got no kids at 28 and while I wish I had a kid and a wife and all that I'm enjoying the fact that I can still do and enjoy what I want to right now, for myself. That stuff will come.

• I love @Fantasy's advice. Be careful. Falling in love is super easy and I'm coming back to this again because it really f***s me up sometimes. You never know people until you know them. That's okay to make that mistake a couple of times but LEARN from your mistakes.

Good luck OP, happy birthday!

Don't gotta be mature just gotta be smart

Be careful with who you consider a friend and have levels to trust and don’t let time determine who’s at what level.

Don’t expect to find yourself in other people. You can’t change how they were raised and what they were taught so when they do/say things you’re not a fan of or just can’t respect accept it and adjust your end of the relationship so that you feel comfortable. That could be talking to them less or not talking to them at all.

Saying sorry doesn’t make you weak don’t be afraid to acknowledge you f***ed up and apologize. Everyone makes mistakes no ones perfect we all know that but that doesn’t mean you can’t admit where you’re wrong and try to improve.

bro’s i’m a grown ass man and i had a s*** abusive childhood no blood family left in my life , nothing has ever made me feel as low and as suicidal as that honestly, i’m still hurt over it i’m getting concerned for myself because i still can’t go without thinking of her everyday

adulthood is a scam and is not worth it

7 years and u just turned 25

thats some f***ed up s***

Dont rush things it’s better to wait for the right time than go straight ahead in the wrong direction

Tbh this, the most mature people can end up doing the dumbest s***

Usually they’re not even that mature they just blindly follow rules

Strive to be happy as much as possible

don't waste it

i wasted a few years of my life and f***ing hate myself for it

Shout out to the support btw

Love you guys

Happy Birthday!
Nothing I could summarize in a few words and which would actually help you, it's stuff you have to learn by living life yourself.

And, don't take yourself too serious, we're all just some bags of meat filled with some bones and water, we'll all be gone from this plane of existence one day, even the greatest of us will not be remembered forever, thousands of years in the future. What count's is the values that are important to you and which you can impart, as well as the experiences you share with others.

U a smart dude so just find something ur into that's realistic to some degree and apply urself to it. This is the perfect time to go all in on a skill you will benefit for the rest of ur life if u devote urself to something

And don't fall into traps i.e. p**** d**** or depression

Lmao I just realized hbd doesn't mean how bout dat

the white peepee is in the balls

Stay dolo untill ur 35

Work hard in college

College is one of the only places in life where you can succeed purely based upon your own effort. If you work hard in class, professors will notice you. They ALL know people in their industries.

I’m 27.

Life is hard.
Bills are real. Be smart with your money, for example, don’t buy rims for a car you won’t be driving for at least 5 plus years.

Experience with new women of different “scenes”. Open yourself up to new s***. Your mentality and priorities will change over the next 5-7 years. Don’t worry if you don’t have a full on plan yet. Do fun and exciting s*** while you’re young. It’s harder once you’re older and working constantly

if you aren’t living in dorms and your parents are letting you stay at their place get a job and start saving your money. dont move out until you can afford it and I don’t mean living check to check just to pay rent and bills. save up enough to be able to pay a couple months worth of rent and then some. and again don’t move out until you can afford it or until you have to.

also make lots of friends/get to know a lot of ppl cause ppl really do come and go even the friends you spend your entire childhood through high school with.

also when you’re older and looking for jobs the ppl you know can sometimes be better than whatever you have on your resume

And all this time I thought Ignance was an old head

Try to stay debt free

Stop fapping your life away
Only time you should c***is either on a girl or inside her(second one is dangerous).

Start investing in yourself

Get the f*** off social media and go outside.

dont waste your time on any b**** just cus you think you in love with her or some s***

you gonna end up looking up and around a couple years later to find that all your peers done surpassed you

you gonna go through a lot of s*** over the next few years, but you’ll end up realizing you needed to. life gonna test you to make sure you solid

just make sure you always keep an open mind and NEVER stop learning. Learning is a scary thing full of hardships but once you choose to close yourself off from learning you won’t be able to go back. learning and understanding your reality is the only way to truly overcome fear

Focus on what you want to do and don’t stop until you’re finished

Once you get distracted or fall into temptation it’s over and it’s a pain to pull yourself out
