I’m terrified. No one taught me how to take my wants for life and translate them into real possibilities or plans. Where was that class in high school? Who gives a shit if I can derive the quadratic formula if I don’t know what it takes to lead a real life: happy, stable and satisfied?
I’ve never been a career focused individual. You will never hear me say “love can...

In theory, this capability should save us from ourselves.
In reality, we often forget to utilize the...
