I don't know who needs this, but here goes nothing

I know I'm young and I don't have too much finance experience, so I have no idea what some of you guys are going through. But I struggled a lot with finding meaning, dealing with fake friends/people in university, and I was able to find solace and understanding through this Youtube channel called the school of life.

They're little 5 minute videos taught by an English philosopher, who is able to explain away modern problems (status anxiety, managing personal expectations, finding a partner) calmly and with a perfect amount of references to Proust and old philosophy guys without sounding snobby. Essentially, they teach emotional intelligence and offer a new perspective to your misery :)

I don't know who this will help, but sometimes, it's just nice to know that you're not alone facing what you're going through, and an entire comment section can validate what you feel.

if I can make a suggestion, this is a nice place to start :)
