Jules she/herI realised something recently, that just about all the advice my parents gave me about education, careers, housing and finances has been flat out wrong. All the advice they gave me about relationships, friendship, grieving and supporting someone grieving, has been really useful to me over the years. And I think that says something about what's important and unchanging about the human experience really, and how what current society tells us to focus on will become unrecognisable in a generation.
kimu@afewbugs I think about this a lot, with a teenager. I already really didn’t feel like my advice for the future was super relevant and that’s just accelerated. Trying to stick to foundations like having empathy, making good trouble, and finding ways to help others, but lots of other stuff that just… not relevant. And I’m not sure how relevant my foundations are tbh.
@kimu "Just do your best, it's hard and I'm proud of you for trying" goes a long way I think
