Just curious. Also I mean, who's been through a similar crisis as this? It's almost like a midlife crisis, but premature.

If you don't hit it in your 20s, you will in your 30s. 100%.

Meh, I just show my haters one way in my perspective if I see them trying to get me upset. What they do with the information from there is up to them. whether it’s mature or immature, the future will decide and/or dictate their choices.

He's at their weird space where he talks about feeling lost because he wasn't on the traditional path society kinda dictates and yet, he also talks about how being on that path is drudgery and wasteful. Like, he wants the outcome but not the input.
Which yea, thats highly understandable. I can relate. But I'd really hesitate to called my 20s "wasted" or to look back on those years like lost progress. My 20s whipped ass. And I think that's where he'll be in another five years. I remember turning thirty and being like "fuck, I finally found my calling. Just 8 years too late. Everything was such a waste" but like... I turned 35 and look back at how those "wasted" years in my twenties led to me being successful and happy in my mid 30s. And I've got WAY cooler stories than most of the people I know who didnt "waste" their twenties.
Fumbling around and kinda stutter stepping through life and trying to find your groove is what your twenties are for. It's only a waste if you write it off and don't learn anything from it. Sure, materially you may look at it as a waste. If all you care about is the balance of your bank account or the property value of your neighborhood. But my struggles through my 20s made me more compassionate, more empathetic. They taught me the power of community and the importance of good neighbors. The people around me helped me into my 30s where now Im in a position to pay that forward.
It's perspective man. And I promise this dude (and you) that in another 5-6 years he's gonna look at this video and be like.., "yea, I actually liked my 20s"

Some people actually hit it in their 20s. Just depending on which hand you decided to deal for yourself.

Exactly. I agree completely with your sentiments.
I am 29 and about to go back to college to start over. I’m really looking forward to seeing how things will turn out.
