It could feel like everyone you know wants to tell you how to live your life today. Co-workers who think they’ve been in your position (they haven’t), friends who think you’re not seeing the big picture (you are), and family members who are just worrying too much (tell them to relax). This unsolicited help comes with good intentions, so try to keep from rolling your eyes when you receive it. Be polite and keep an open mind. There could be one or two gems in there.

Promiscuity becomes an issue for you right now. Whether you’re inclined to hop in bed with just anyone or sleep with someone who’ll hop into bed with just anyone, you’re in dangerous territory. It sounds cliche, but get to know the person a little before that carnal knowledge.

It feels like these relationship obligations are limiting your creativity. Like it or not, you’re the designated caretaker for now. Instead, write in your journal about these frustrations. You’ll find a way to work through them.

Not everything is a personal issue, although it feels that way to you. You’re not the only one experiencing something new. The entire culture around you is being changed by it, if subtly. Look for small signs of things to come.
