I'm currently enjoying this Thanksgiving break with my folks. I'm 26, I'm about to have my year anniversary in my second full time job after university, and I'm enjoying it and learning a lot, despite making a bit less than what my other friends and peers with the same age/experience are making in other companies. I'm hoping that changes soon, since I feel like I do make enough to pay bills and buy small things for fun, but not enough to travel more.
I know what I want for my career, and I feel I'm heading in that direction, and barring some bad luck, I have a bright future with that. At the same time, I haven't had any luck with my love life. Tbf, I haven't pursued it, so I can't bitch too much about never having opportunities, yet I wonder whether I should let it happen naturally (I'm a loner by nature, and I don't mind doing things alone) or stop letting time pass by and just date more. Living in a city as a big as Los Angeles, I dunno where to start looking for people, even if I go out a lot to music shows and stuff.
The other is the political climate the country is facing. For the moment, life goes on, which is as I (and many others) predicted. I'm a Chicano (inb4 wall jokes) from illegal immigrant parents (now legal), yet I've seen more provocation of violence and intolerance from the supposedly tolerant left. I know how our government works, as well as how history has played out to see how Trump is not like Hitler or any Fascists that people like to compare him to, but I do fear the amount of false-flagging from hate violence may lead to darker shit from the side we least expect.
Hoping for a bright future.
