I really hope that whomever may watch and hear this piece, can feel how true it is. The time will pass anyway, 1 day will turn into 1000...go f@dfdsfking do it. Thank you Nneka.
I would tell a 20 something that was like me that you are not relatable don’t try to connect nor contort it will only waste money and energy. Be more focused on self and cut the wanting to be helpful. It will leave you resentful and withered. The more you focus on self and your trues form the higher odds you won’t end up old and brittle.
This couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. I would tell my 20 something self, it’s OK to try and fail. It’s OK to fail. What isn’t OK, is not trying at all. Learn from what hasn’t worked, dissect it, be undeniably, curious, and quiet the voices around you. Lock into your inner voice and trust yourself, always.

Do it scared is the best advice I ever received honestly
Reporting live from the pits of my twenties to say thank you for this. You make me (and 26 year old Nneka) feel so seen 🩷
