You gotta walk your own path.
Most people know exactly what they have to do to obtain a skill, start a business, make a friend, experience and adventure but simply don’t out of fear of the unknown.
The Internet is helpful but you got to put stock in your own lived experience.
Go to party every day. Use all the drugs. Fuck everyone you can (that consents).
I wish :-(

The old don't stick your dick in crazy is actually good advice but also, unwanted pregnancy can change your life in s very negative way.
The sex in your imagination is never going to live up to reality. Porn and even just popular culture paints a picture that's impractical irl.
Which part of the picture you are talking about is impractical?
Meet with a trusted financial advisor and plan your retirement ASAP
The starting gun has already fired. Don't be idle and wait for life to come to you, you need to go get it!
Don't get married before you're 25
Around 30 years old your body stops healing, injuries are just things you live with forever now, and old injuries you thought had healed come back as forever pain.. just keep that in mind when doing stupid shit... This includes injuries to your lungs and mind from things like smoking and drugs.
If you want to help people in any way, get rich first. No one will pay you enough to live off of for helping people... Better to bring your own wealth to the table and hopefully be able to help people for real with it.
If you don't already know how, learn to code asap... In 20 years, programming will be one of the few jobs left... Maybe
Whatever you’re thinking, don’t.
