I am a college student in my early 20s. Lately, I’ve been realizing how comfortably I’ve been living — good CGPA, Leetcode grind, a bit of dev work, and hanging with friends I probably chill way too much with, without making any real progress. Maybe it’s just a cope — a distraction from what I truly want. Deep down, I want to step out, meet people who do things, and learn real-world stuff. But my parents can’t stand the idea of failure anymore. After I couldn’t meet their JEE expectations, all they want is a safe government job. But I’m in my early 20s — how long can I keep playing safe? I recently started spending time alone in a library, trying to think straight. And I realized: I’m scared to fail, but even more scared to stay the same. I know I’ve got something in me that wants to break free. How do you start — when failure isn’t an option, but neither is being stuck?
