| 0:08.8 | world just feeling incredibly lost right now having no idea what the hell they're doing with |
| 0:13.2 | their life questioning what do I even enjoy doing? What am I passionate about? Where do I see myself |
| 0:18.4 | in five years? Or is Mercury just in retrograde? I don't know. I have no idea. But a lot of |
| 0:26.3 | week ago, I posted on my Instagram story saying that I just over the past couple of weeks, past couple |
| 0:34.1 | of months, I've really been questioning what my purpose is in life and where I see myself |
| 0:40.0 | and what I see myself doing, what I enjoy doing. And I didn't know the answer to any of those |
| 0:45.2 | questions. And when I really reflected on that, it made me realize how lost I feel in my life |
| 0:51.2 | at this point of where I am. I'm about to turn 25 in 10 days, which is crazy. And maybe that's part |

| 1:26.2 | from. I went to school for six years, eight years, four years, two years, literally two months, |
| 1:33.3 | doesn't matter. And now I've decided it's not anything that I want to do. And I have this guilt |
| 1:40.1 | for wanting to stay in the career that I originally chose, but also having this, you know, |
| 1:46.8 | sense of unfulfillment that I'm always questioning what else is out there. You know, like there |
