Okay, here’s the deal. You don’t need to have all of your shit together in order to count. No, really. The truth is that even the people around you who seem to know what they’re doing, and act like they’re in control of their lives, are mostly faking it. Yes, even that person. Even the most together and on-the-ball person you know, who always pays their bills on time and never has a hair out of place. None of us knows what we’re doing most of the time. No matter how high or how hard you climb, there will never be a plateau you can reach where suddenly everything in your life magically sorts itself out and makes complete sense.

There is always one more hill to climb. We don’t all reach a certain age and then feel like we fit in or belong. In one way or another, every one of use feels like an outcast, a fake, and we’re all desperately hoping that the person sitting next to us doesn’t notice that we don’t belong. There is never an age when you’re too old to feel vulnerable, or like the world’s biggest fool.

Just remember that you’re not alone. Some people may hide it very well, but the reality is that we’re all fumbling around in the dark trying to find the damn light switch, bumping into furniture along the way. Sometimes, it’s even fun. More often, it’s terrifying. The best times are a little bit of both.

You can get hurt. You will get hurt, eventually. That’s all right, too. It happens to everyone. We all bleed and bruise.

It’s perfectly okay to be afraid, to be unsure and wary, to hesitate and regret. There is no vaccine against this struggle, not even wisdom. And because of this, because it happens to all of us, understand that you will never truly be alone. So join us as we all stumble around trying to get our shit together. We’ll show you how it’s done.
