Grappling with Life's Nonlinearity

from This Teenage Life Hosted by This Teenage Life

One of the biggest pressures of getting older is the idea of having to "figure things out" by yourself. How do we navigate the pressure to "know what we're doing" while also being flexible and open to new things? How do we process the reality that life might turn out differently from our childhood dreams? How do we process that life is less linear than we imagined? In this episode of This Teenage Life, the teens talk about the anticipation of moving from high school to college and beyond. They grapple with expectations to figure out who they are and what they want to be "when they grow up," even while also recognizing that there is no end to growing up, and that all of life is a process of growing.
