It also seems like part of the increasingly unstructured culture that so many people are floundering in. It's really difficult to plan your life when none of the parts have a known shape.
Very much so! I initially got into 'doing my own thing' naively and so I had all this time but had zero plans or any sort of structure as you mentioned. Essentially I realized 1) I was very dependent on being given a structure and set schedule either in school or at work and 2) I had no idea how to structure and plan my own life out without someone telling me what to do. But with time, and trial and error, I more or less have learned to better structure my life, plan things out, and construct my own schedule to stay productive and further optimize my life without depending on others.

The amount of people who want to become influencers and youtubers is amazing. Unless you have a passion for something, you arent going to survive.

Talent >> passion

Talent can only take you so far. Usually passion can overtake talent in the long run. Or so I believe. This might make for an interesting post. Talent vs Passion.

Without talent, passion is not relevant

I still think passion would overrule talent any day. People with talent do not work hard to make their talent better.

Pursue aptitude not passion
