Very thought provoking. You are wise beyond your years Wish.

TJ Tharp

Thanks, Wish. You are kind but I have so many responsibilities to take on.

Wishy

It’s never too late to follow your dreams! So many well respected actors start later in life :)

TJ Tharp

I think that you could be a voice actor since your voice is soo soothing 😊. I wanted to be an actor but I missed the boat on that one. SMH. However, you are so much younger than I am, so do not give up. I also have seasonal anxiety disorder so I am gonna have a harsh several months.

TJ Tharp

But what if you don't have a tribe, like me? Lol. I walk alone for a reason, just saying

I’m going through what you’re talking about, a quarter life crisis. I’m not happy with my life and I don’t know what I want or what I can do even IF I knew what I wanted. I relate so much with Bill from the movie Falling Down. “But I did everything they told me to…” I spent so much time trying to make my parents proud that it feels like I never really lived for myself. You’re not alone in that. On the plus side, I hope things go well with your new therapist.

Isaac

Unfortunately you are 100% correct. I'm afraid of that. I need to get out of my head, I think, just commit to a decision for myself instead of what's the most acceptable/traditionally viable option, and just do it. Sorry this was not supposed to turn into a therapy session for me lmao. I appreciate the wisdom, Wish, apologies for dumping a whole lot

Hugs and hair pets for you…

Wishy

When you're 35 you're going to look back and wish you did it, thinking 35 is too old, but once again it's so young. You should really worry about your 90 year old self. What will you think then?

Isaac

I appreciate that! And honestly, I really hope so, it's still what I want. The issue is that I don't view myself as very young, and I feel like the opportunity to pursue what I love is gone LMAO. Just feels too late, but other people don't seem to agree. So in short, hopefully! I just need to work at it like I used to again, and make the leap some day

Wishy

Don’t apologize! It’s always nice learning about you guys :) do you think you’ll eventually choose to pursue music? I mean you’re still very young.

Isaac

MAN, Wish, that whole portion about dreams, passions, and a quarter-life crisis RESONATED with me as someone the same age as you, that never went to music school like I dreamed (still dream) about. Fortunately I didn't really do much of college at all, I guess. I won't dump too much about myself here, nobody wants all that, but trust me when I say that I resonate strongly with what you're saying. On another note, I'm very happy that you've found a therapist that works for you. I'm truly hoping for the best for you. Also agreed, it's totally okay to distance yourself from friends if they just aren't the kind of people that make you happy. I've whittled myself down to like 1-2 friends I really actively keep up with, and that's perfectly fine with me tbh. I only want as many as I can sincerely invest time into, and then ofc I have some friends a little further out in orbit that I talk to far more occasionally. I didn't mean to type so much, but regardless thanks for another great episode, Wish :)

Also, I think you're definitely ready for industry-level acting. I can see you being the actress with a distinct voice that you go with, kind of like Seth Rogen. If I had my own studio, I KNOW I'd like to hire you.

Wishy

I suppose it’s what comes with your twenties! Thank you 😊

Jorge Qintero

Damn, Wish. You and I are similar in a lot of ways, it's almost eerie. The quarter-life crisis, trying to make friends that are actually genuine... And I'm very sorry about being discharged. You deserve the right to talk to someone - a therapist should be available even when you're having a good time, because you don't know when it could all come crashing down. All I can say is keep going. You have a bright future ahead of you - you just have to catch up, you know?

Wishy

Thank you! Your insight is very appreciated and noted. And maybe I'll build up the courage to message purple haired girl 😅

Wishy

I think that's so relatable and surely others can relate. First you have to make sure that you love yourself more than another can love you. Then you'll find people who meet your standards because you deserve that <3

Wishy

Thank you 🫂 Have a good day!

Wishy

That's what I hope to achieve! If we really think about it, we have similar struggles just wrapped in slightly different packaging. You'r not alone.

Brodie

Some quick hits on your ramble... I love that you said "hooptie" lol haven't heard that phrase in awhile, I didn't even know therapists could discharge patients (aside from inability to provide payment or threat etc.) you can absolutely become an industry VA because you have a great voice and a distinct presence that I think you'll begin to fully form and at that point you'll just need to take next steps. Also, friendships forming and falling apart is always a bitch lol especially when things don't even collapse in a dramatic fashion but just fizzle out due to growing apart over time. That said, you should hit up that purple haired ex blonde! It won't be weird and it may make her day and yours! Imagine if someone did that for you! Swing for that friendship! Lastly, for better or worse you're right, we cannot escape the universal balance. Best we can do is coexist within it. Loved this ramble! Thanks for sharing as always Wish 😊

It seems almost impossible for a man to have a genuine relationship with anybody in this Internet age. When I try to be personal, the door is almost always slammed shut because we’re guys. We’re not meant to feel and if we do we’re doing life all wrong. There’s no easy exit from there.

ItsATrap101

You read my question… and I’m kinda relieved you didn’t have an answer. To be honest, I feel this deep connection to you. I get that it’s just foolish thinking because I’m only plugging in an idealized interpretation over a faceless voice. But there are these people in my life (almost always women, because they typically have softer personalities that are so approachable) and I want nothing more than to be perfect to them. I want to be real.

Ohh Come here Queen *Virtual Hug* 🫂🫂 i cant listen to it right now But it seem like you need that . I have some experience with Fake Friends Myslef its not fun. Have a nice day Wish ❤️❤️

MisTerxAv1eR

Yikes that’s wild that a therapist would end things like that. Love that things are going well with your new one and as a psychology nerd I relate hard to the self awareness struggles. I think what I like the most about the personal looks into your life is that I get to have my own self reflections and find new perspectives on things I’m trying to process

Shrek 2 On DVD

It really is. Makes you really think. Fermi paradox is also the name of a really good avenged sevenfold song…….. 👀

Wishy

I'll have to look into this. Sounds intriguing 👀

Wishy

Broken nails is the worst part! 😭

Shrek 2 On DVD

Kinda. The Fermi paradox questions why we haven’t been visited by aliens while the Drake equation tries to make an estimate on how many intelligent species or civilizations are in the galaxy. Though the paradox uses the Drake equation as evidence for it if I’m not mistaken

TerrificTerry

Breaking nails, quarter life crisis, dealing with fake friends, someone give this poor sweet girl a hug 😭😭

Wishy

You will eventually find your tribe, don't worry :)

Wishy

is the Fermi paradox similar to the Drake equation?

Wishy

I appreciate you. Just caught me on a down day haha

Mika Shimada

Gosh I didn't even know where to start with this you spoke a lot of things that are happening to me IRL especially when to comes to fake friends that's something I know all to well pretty everyone in my life has been fake no ride or die friends really but again I don't where to start with this you touch on a lot of deep subjects on this one

Shrek 2 On DVD

Making friends can be hard. Only recently I started hanging out with my friends again having Dungeons and Dragons and Warhammer 40k sessions and it made me think how easily we have fun and get along. It’s rare to have those friends but at the same time theoretically there’s plenty of people out there that are mostly just like me. It’s like a weird version of the Fermi paradox. People and potential friends are everywhere yet often so hard to find. No matter what tho we’ll all be good in the end. Glad you like your new therapist. Cheers ☕️

Wishy

the nsfw drama im confused lol

VelvetTornado (Enrico)

Unfortunately I have to leave for work right now, but I'll listen to this later. 🙂 But because of the tags, I already want to give you a big hug 🫂🍀✨️ You're absolutely awesome, Wish. And I hope that all good things will come your way 🥺💖
