I’m 24 and my biggest accomplishments are barely graduating college on time and getting a somewhat respectable office job. The sad thing is as pathetic as my life achievements are I’m still somehow the most successful of my friends, both of which are weed addicts and one is suicidal and probably not gonna get his undergrad degree until he’s 27 at least. He’s the same age as me and started college at the same time.

Alexander the Great was the King of Macedonia at 19 and had conquered all the way to the Indus River by his late 20s.

I don’t want my life trajectory to just be a standard pathetic thing. Maybe setting my standards as Alexander the Great is absurd but I want something greater for myself.
