Hello and welcome back to advice session.

A series here on Anything Goes where you send in your current dilemmas or anything that you want advice on, and I give you my unprofessional advice.

And today's topic is what to do when you're stuck in a rut.

To be honest, I feel like I've been in and out of a rut consistently for the last 10 years of my life.

And I'm starting to wonder

if that's just what adulthood is, constantly teetering between being in a rut and having shit

together, which sounds a little bit pessimistic, but I don't mean it that way. I think as you get

older, shit gets real, you know?

And when you're a kid, you don't even have a frontal lobe.

It's like you don't even know what's going on.

So life just seems less challenging for the most part.

And then you become an adult and your frontal lobe develops.

So you can comprehend how complex

life is. And then on top of that, of course, you have all these responsibilities. And it just,

it gets harder and harder to keep it together. Although I'm hoping that the frequency of being stuck in a rut goes a little bit

something like this. Okay? When you're a kid, like a kid, like five to ten years old. You don't really

get stuck in a rut very often because, again, you don't have a frontal lobe. And you also don't have

responsibilities. And there are definitely tough moments as a kid. There's some horrible moments

as a kid, but you don't really get stuck in a rut when you're a kid. So the rut frequency

is low. And then you get into your teenage years and into your young adult years, and whoa,

it feels like you're stuck in a rut all the

time, which I think sort of makes sense because, oh my God, there's a lot of changes happening.
