Heeeey !! 
My bday is on July.
Turning 23 soon
I was reading some really strange stuff, that for many ppl 23 it’s a hard year. Probably because of having more and bigger responsibilities,
Could you give me several advices? The best advice for 23 year old?
I know 23 is not a lot, I am neither total adult neither teenager.
Overall I am going trough a lot stuff now (broke up, graduated from college) and feeling really lost now, only thing I trully know about me (just not always very sure about) is my name and that I do like writing.

I realised, at 34, that you should never feel guilty for treating yourself if you work hard.

Do you think you’ll be able to work? If so get a job that will lead somewhere, like a career. Try to avoid the trap of a dead end job that goes nowhere (if this is possible).
23 was the best year of my life. So it’s a time for enjoying yourself too. Have a good time!

Yeee this is a very good advice!
Just probably I rarely work very hard because I feel like I either have no motivation or either I am lazy

I believe so!
My pdoc is very positive about my future and career, and probably I also should be more positive about it!
If everything will be alright, I will try to go to university now. (There’s a possibility after college to go to similar specialty’s university)
I will try to be either a communicator or a journalist,
Because of that dream of writing.
Thanks thanks!!

Id actually say this is fine if its a low stress decently good paying job. Id consider it “dead end” if theres no progression.
But with our brains constant progression can be stressful in work environments.
The dead end can be more like a placeholder til you get a bit more wellness happening.

I disagree. You are most definitely an adult. You’re just a young adult. A lot is happening for a 23 year old in the world so it is a lot. At 23, I was married with a child. I owned a home and took care of it. While you may not be doing all that, a lot is expected of you. You’re expected to be mature, make good decisions, work and/or go to school and do well at it. That’s a lot of pressure.
My advice is to do the best you can at whatever it is you’re doing, but also make sure to find time to relax and take care of yourself every single day. Make sure to have fun sometimes.
Don’t be afraid to ask for advice from multiple sources as you’re newer to adulthood and there are many others who have been through it before. Then make your own decision that you think suits you best. And make sure to think about the best sources of advice for each different decision. Some people are good sources of information for certain things, but not other things.

My advice would come in the form of questions
- What is your dream?
- How do you define success?
- What do you like about yourself?
- What do you want to learn?
- Who is your role model?

There are no failures or regrets, only lessons learnt

Don’t do drugs. It always starts out as fun but ends up causing trouble or ends up an addiction. Watch your weight, don’t ever let it get out of control.

Like @everhopeful said, find a career you enjoy.
Have fun and stay away from “friends” that do drugs.
23 is young but still an adult, albeit a young adult.
