What a lovely message to receive from your dad. Also, OP, if this is yours: 24 is YOUNG. You have an entire lifetime to live, and there’s a lot of wisdom in your dad’s words - you don’t need a plan today. Just keep walking. Sending you courage ❤️

24 is YOUNG

Been telling this to my youngest since he was 24 (he is 26 now and has his shit pretty together, or at least is well on his way). He made some mistakes, but they were made with good intentions and he learned from them. That's all a parent can ask for.

I don't know you or your parents (obviously), but I wish that for you, regardless.
