The Brain Doesn't Fully Develop Until 25 (Journal Entry)
If you're in your late teens or early 20s and you're feeling lost or behind in life, here's a message I channeled earlier.
If most people's brains don't fully develop until the age of 25 then why are there so much pressure and expectations placed on 16-24 year olds to have their whole life figured out before then?!? Juniors & Seniors in highschool are expected to know exactly what career they want to pursue for the next 30+ years and are rushed into going to college immediately after graduating. Some may be certain and committed to their career path at that time but what if their interest change over time or they realize that the job they spent 4+ years obtaining a degree for isn't what their truly passionate about although it may pay well? And then society makes it seem like every person in their early 20s should already be super successful and have their own business, car, house, etc. That is so unrealistic to me. Social media is part to blame, especially instagram. Sometimes we forget that people only show you what they want you to see on social media. People usually show the highlights of their life and the perfect/idealistic version of themselves on Instagram. We then subconsciously compare ourselves to their appearance, lifestyles, and accomplishments. Although you may be the same age as them, they seem more accomplished and put together than you, making you feel even more insecure. Please remember that everyone is on their own unique journey. What may be the right path for someone else, may not be the right path for you. Even if y'all are on similar paths, everything will happen to you at the right time. It's just that their time came sooner. And that's okay. Plus, you don't know what the other person had to do to get where they are now. Try not to be so hard on yourself. You are right where you need to be at this very moment. Don't allow society to make you feel like you're falling behind in life. You're still so young. You're still creating yourself. You have so much to discover and learn about yourself and the world. Honestly, a lot of us are just pretending to have everything figured out already. We all seem to be playing the role that we think we should be which explains why we're so mentally & emotionally exhausted all of the time. In reality, we'll never have everything completely figured out. And that's okay.
