I’m only 20. 

But I feel like the only one who doesn’t have it figured out. 

No one is in love with me.

I don’t have any children. 

I have a full time job but in a field I hate.

I want to be back in school but its too expensive. 

time is passing by and i feel like I’m stuck

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Basically. I’ll 30 this June and I still don’t have anything figured out either.

I’m 26. I don’t have figured out.

But tbh nobody does. We’re all discovering ourselves again each day, each year, each decade. You’ll never know, but you will eventually feel secure in not knowing. You’ll trust the journey. Trust you’ll end up where you ought to be.

You’ll make plans for this life, but they almost never matter, because we don’t know what each day holds!

I’m almost 23 now 

I now am aware we all don’t know what the hell we’re doing but we’re trying. No one is in love with me but I did let some people waste my time but I’ve grown from that. Not everyone deserves my time. I don’t have any children but I’m happy about that now because I don’t want to bring a child into a world before I’m stable. I have that full time job I still hate but it pays me enough now to afford my own place and own a car with no payments. I sill want to go to school but I stop feeling sorry about my situation and started researching and teaching myself things with the help of this little thing called the internet. Time is passing by and I am trying my absolute hardest to make the most of it. I've started modeling and I started my own YouTube channel. I’m trying to make the most of my life even if it doesn’t always go as I planned. 

In the town where I grew up, there was a large statue in one of the parks, of a famous historical white colonizer. I'm not going to say who specifically, suffice it to say that it was someone who wasn't worth memorializing for their deeds. And as you can imagine, this statue was a frequent target of vandalism, with paint or toilet paper or eggs on multiple occasions. Now, the local council was generally pretty lax when it came to repairing potholes or other public damage in the town, but every time, 24 hours after this particular statue was hit, the same person would always appear in a Hi-Vis vest, hat, mask and sunglasses, carrying a bucket of water, and wash it clean. They would do it as quickly as possible, but always made sure the face and the name carved at the bottom were generously scrubbed. This only encouraged people to do it again, and so it became a vicious cycle.

Within a year, the statue had sustained so much damage that it was unrecognizable and the lettering unreadable, so eventually the council came and took it down. Also apparently, the person in the Hi-Vis vest didn't even work for the council. They were supposedly just some 'good samaritan' who cleaned it, often before the council even discovered it needed cleaning, so they just let them do it and ignored the problem. They didn't bother putting the statue up again.

Much later, we found out that the anonymous 'samaritan' had been deliberately washing the statue with a bucket of saltwater, which had dramatically corroded it, causing irreversible accumulative damage far worse than spray paint ever would have done. It's even theorized that they were also often the one spray-painting it, just so that they had an excuse to come back after a day to wash it.
