I’m trying to plan my life, but I feel like I’m putting together a thousand-piece puzzle with no picture on the box

    So I think maybe you’re not old enough to remember motivating giraffe or poem for your sprog on reddit, but when life took me down a notch after finally “figuring it out”, I had these words to help me through.

    A handdrawn picture of a giraffe looking at a map with the poem "I had planned my first endeavour but the world had plans for me. I am lost but not forever, I'm where I'm meant to be."

    Essentially, plans are great but life will take you all sorts of directions. You don’t need to figure it all out now. Just put a couple of those pieces down and then some more down later.

    Also, if you like cute motivating messages: https://motivatinggiraffe.com/gallery/ I miss her so much :(
