Navigating the teenage years is like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded. I have a hard time solving it with my glasses on. Internal changes are in full swing, and external factors can turn the volume up on the chaos dial. How are you going to survive this? I read tons of books about surviving teenage years as a teen, and I am not sure if anything helped much. But, reading about other teens' struggles made me feel better. I did not feel so alone. I think teens have to do too much, historically. With modern advancements, maybe it's better to pursue higher education in our 30s when we're less clueless about life. Though let's not forget the economic implications – they're about as clear as mud, so I know this idea is not going to be popular. Just a thought. One thing's for sure, kids need time to just be kids and discover their true selves. As for me, I'll probably start pursuing my goals in my 70s, as a full-on procrastinator, unless we magically live to be 150, in which case, I'll finally get started at the tender age of 120.
Cheers to surviving emotions and moods in our teen years and thriving through the storms!

I think my posts were a little depressing the last few days. But, then, I remembered someone saying something about this somewhere some time ago. Once, the AIs are fully competent and take over all our jobs, what are humans to do? The human things, like reading, eating, sleeping, watching movies, maybe swimming for some of you, golfing for some of you... So, it does sound wonderful, doesn't it? The only question is, how are we going to pay for all our services, and who are going to do this since we will have no income? But, I think we will. Again, someone said something about this somewhere some time ago. Universal Basic Income. It is a government welfare system, but for everyone that is affected by AI, which will be everyone! Of course, anyone who had to depend on the government welfare system will tell you it is going to suck, but, hey, I am trying to get used to the whole idea of free money!
Mommy said if it sounded too good to be true, it probably was. Now, what am I giving up?
This is why we need good politicians who will negotiate a reasonable amount of basic income so that we can live like humans for a change, making sure that we can buy more than a few loaves of bread.
What are we giving up? Does anybody know?
I have a book out called "Recovering from Gaslighting." Gaslighting can be personal, organizational, and even societal. Not sure why I am bringing up this here, but I thought it might be appropriate to the occasion. This book even has a companion workbook. Maybe give it a try?
