Transcript
I'm 19 years good, and I'm running out of time. Because if I die at a 100, I've got about twenty nine thousand days best, and I've only lived seven thousand one hundred and fifty days so far. Most of which, by the way, were spent learning how to walk, asking for permission to use the bathroom, and thinking Fortnite YouTuber was a viable career. But sure, now's the moment I should have it all figured out. House, dream car, life purpose, because they're 16 year old millionaires, right? No, if I don't make it by 20, that's it, right? And, oh yeah, don't forget, this panic came from a rectangle in my pocket, showing me highlight reels from people who are also pretending they know what they're doing. See how stupid all of this sounds? Trust me, you're not running out of time. You actually have too much time. So instead of worrying about what others are doing online, why don't you figure out how you're going to use the 29,000 chances you have?
