Thanks! Listening right now; I’ve never heard of Alabama before

Like people always say: social media just shows the best parts

LOL now I see it definitely sounds like high thoughts 😂

But what you’re saying is relatable for sure. It’s easy to get caught up in a frantic pace, moving around, but not making equal progress.

Haha no worries! I’ll try to dig it up

Thanks for letting me know

Thanks for that! 🙌

Do you know of a source to confirm it?

Just want to update my notes with the real source

Wow this is such a helpful comment

It really is one of those things that we just doubt and underestimate until it happens. One of those invisible diseases. Luckily people are starting to be more considerate about it. I’m sure before it was just expected to power through

Thanks for sharing that! 🙌

That’s definitely true—amazing points

Can’t be faulted for wanting to bust your ass, but also need to remember that movements doesn’t equal progress

Haven’t heard that one before but I like it!! Definitely a similar tone

Didn’t want it to come off as self-hatred at all! I’m confident in my path in life

Was really just curious about people’s thoughts on the two different philosophies, and then I used my personal thoughts/emotions as a background to that question

But I definitely agree with you, just being in motion and figuring things out along the way is important! Thanks for sharing that🙌

Yeah I read up on the history about the song—you’re spot on!

I believe he said to his dad “isn’t it sad that she has to work that type of job at her age”

His dad replied saying no it’s amazing she’s doing that. She’s doing her part in contributing to the community. It’s giving her meaning and a sense of belonging.

Which got Bill thinking, we really push elderly to the side and expect them to just sit back and not do anything, when it still counts as time on Earth

Thanks for sharing that!! The back story is amazing, and the meaning of the song is amazing! 🙌

LOL 😂 sorry about that!!

Honestly i feel that exact same as you do!!

This comment section is great—so much compassion and wisdom

Wow I’m so sorry to hear that. Your perspective and insight is so valuable! That’s definitely going to resonate for me.

That’s a great piece of wisdom “I want to make a success of myself but not at my own expense”.

Thank you so much for sharing that, I’m going to hold on to this wisdom! 🙌

Haha no you’re right, I can definitely acknowledge how silly it sounds when at that point you’ve barely been treading long in life

But I also in that moment, that’s all the experience you have, so it’s everything to you

Finding a companion like that is an understated point to make

Definitely needs to be emphasized more

Okay yeah that makes complete sense

Again thanks for that comment 🙌 Super helpful food for thought

Yeah the definitely makes sense too and is extremely valid

Guess at the end of the day it comes down to each individuals circumstances

That’s definitely a good point if the goal is having the ability to take free time and leisure time

If you can already take it now, then you’re already “winning”

Wow thanks for that perspective

Seems like that frantic pace and grinding it out during your 20s is paying off now.

Would you do it the same way if you got sent back 10 years? Or would you take it easier having gone through it now?

Yeah that’s a great point

Now there’s an infinite source of comparison in the world. More than just “did you hear what x is doing”

LOL 😂

Thanks for sharing that wisdom! And I love the lifestyle you’ve mentioned at the end that you’ve adopted

That consistent tinkering and taking on new challenges definitely seems very fulfilling

That’s true there’s a lot of new interesting avenues that still haven’t been solidified as “safe” career paths or “safe” to invest a bunch of time into

I don’t even have an idea of an answer to offer—but I definitely feel that

Wow that’s a great insight “just make sure you don’t lose it this early”

Guess it’s important to have direction, but you don’t have to get there as soon as possible

Do you think that frantic feeling something that every generation feels early on? Or do you think it’s particularly unique to today?

My gut tells me there are no new issues, and each generation goes through the same things

Thanks for that! Great points. And comparison being the thief of joy couldn’t be any more true

At the end of the day it seems like it’s best to just go at your own pace and not feel rushed
