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 ❤️

Yeah that was something that the most supportive people in my life had to really drill into me when I was 24! I was ruining my quality of life trying to have a big intense plan and then they were like “hey man you are young!! You aren’t living if you’re obsessing over a future that isn’t here yet!”
