a period of depression, grief, and limitation is often necessary for further growth especially in late 20s/early 30s we need to come to terms with our own limits, and what it means for the rest of our life I like Robert Bly’s articulation of it (summary by Claude): https://t.co/OMqwIgFlgj

I think this realization allows us to become a true human being.
