The journey is personal

“Don’t get stuck on the idea that you need to plan out the full projection of your life and career when you’re 18 or just starting out in college. You can absolutely refocus later on if you need to or if things in your life change. I had a mentor for my degree at my university who started her career as an x-ray tech, then went back to school in her 30s to get into paleontology. For most of her adult life, she bred and raised agility dogs, and when she retired, she made that her full-time commitment. Also, if the regular pipeline of ‘graduate high school, go to college’ isn’t for you, see if there are any vocational schools that teach a skill you’re interested in. Being a lineworker, plumber, electrician, or trained carpenter is just as valid as going to school and getting a nursing degree, but I know in the US, it’s not talked about nearly enough with high school students.”

Layers of Friendship

some people seek one-size-fits-all friends who can be there no matter what. As a professor, I taught my students that everyone needs a coach, a mentor and a venting buddy (or two). A coach guides you through what you need to do to improve at that moment. By contrast, a mentor is somebody who “gets you” for life, whom you could call or email and be offered wisdom, no matter how many years have gone by. Peers in your 20s and 30s do not have the life experience to give you much of this sort of friendship.

I wish I had known that when I was in my 20s and 30s, as I tried to sort out who was the one friend I could rely on in various situations.Barbara Veltri,

Beautiful Age

I wish I’d understood back then that we are not our looks. We are worthy of love no matter our exteriors, and, in fact, true love just doesn’t care. I have two friends who love me unconditionally and have stood by me not because of how I look but because of who I am. And they’ve helped me see a self I can love — trim and muscled or not. –Jeane Weigel

art

Hanging an empty frame as part of a gallery walladds visual interest. If your style is more modern or funky, you might find that the vintage art in decorative frames feels too stuffy. Hanging the frame empty is less serious and helps add a moment of negative space in a gallery wall. You can also use this technique to save the space on your wall while you hunt for the perfect artwork.
