Why are we so obsessed with five-year plans? How much of our lives is actually shaped by random people, bad decisions, lucky timing and complete accidents? And why does everyone else seem to have life figured out when we\u2019re still improvising?<\/p><p>We talk about adulthood, identity, confidence, luck, wrong decisions, quitting, starting over, social media, the pressure to be \u201con time\u201d in life \u2014 and the uncomfortable possibility that there may be no perfect version of you waiting to be discovered.<\/p><p>Maybe you don\u2019t find yourself.<br \/>Maybe you build yourself along the way.<\/p><p>And maybe having your life together doesn\u2019t mean knowing exactly where you\u2019re going.
