Hello and welcome back to Advice Session, a series here on Anything Goes where you send in your current dilemmas or anything that you want advice on and I give you my unprofessional advice. In today's the last advice session of 2024, yeah, I know, time flies when you're having fun and receiving mediocre advice from a non-professional 23-year-old. Yeah, time really flies. Actually, this is not only the last advice session of the year. This is the last Anything Goes episode of the year. I'm taking the rest of the year off to chill, to recharge, and I'll be back in 2025 with a fucking vengeance, okay? My word count is going to be up per episode. I'm going to be talking faster than I ever have. Episodes are going to be longer than ever, reaching peaks of five, six hours. I'm just kidding. Not much will change in 2025. I think it will be a lot more of the same, but in all the best ways that we all love, know and love. Anyway, today's topic is personal turmoil.
A topic that we have discussed before, but there is a never-ending well of things to discuss in the category of personal turmoil because we're constantly dealing with shit internally within the confines of our mind. I don't know. I feel like the human brain is like a car. You drive it, you drive it, drive it. Then you need to fill it up with gas. Then you accidentally pop a tire. Then you need to replace the tire. Then you keep driving. Then your air conditioning stops working. And so then you have to fix it. And then you keep driving and keep driving. Then you run out of windshield wiper fluid. And then you keep driving. There's a lot of problems that reoccur that you need to constantly be fixing, like filling up the gas tank. Those are arguably not even problems.
They're just maintenance. Although sometimes maintenance comes at the wrong time and it turns into a problem. But for the most part, you expect it coming. And then there's stuff that you don't expect, like running out of windshield washer fluid or your AC breaking in the middle of a heat wave. That's the stuff that is just plain a problem. And there's endless things that could go wrong at any given moment. So this is a topic that we're revisiting today and we'll revisit again. But without further ado, let's begin.
Someone said, I feel like I have everything a person could want, but still feel lonely and lost. Do you have any advice?
Yes. I think this is a clear sign that up until this point, your priorities were maybe not aligned with what fulfills you as a person. So you've been working towards goals that look good on paper. You haven't been working towards goals that fulfill you as a human being. Status, money, everything aside, you haven't been working towards goals that fulfill you as a human being. Now... It looks so different for everybody. And it's also, at a lot of times, a privilege to be able to do things and spend your time doing things that are fulfilling for you as a human being, right? There are times when you got to fucking work really hard and spend all your time working so that you can survive. There are times when that is the case.
And, you know, nobody wants to be in that place, right? But it seems that you're not in that position. If you're in the position where you feel like you have everything that a person could want, then that means that you've made a choice. It was your choice to prioritize things that did not fulfill you. So what I would recommend to you is to look at what you're prioritizing right now. What's important to you? Now, you may look at your life and realize, wow, I've been prioritizing my status and Everything I've been working towards has given me more status. Or my priority up until now has been money. So I've been working really hard to make a lot of money. Or I really want to be popular. I want a lot of people to like me.
You might have made all these friends and now you have them and you're like, oh, but it doesn't quite feel right. Don't get me wrong. Having status, having money, being popular, all of these things are not bad. And To want them is not an unreasonable thing, you know, at all. But when you reach your goal, you still won't feel fulfilled.
