Most will probably agree that although our life is short, sometimes it gets to the point where it feels insufferably long.

Throughout our existence, we get bombarded with made-up expectations that are allegedly bound to decide our whole future.

We are all expected to achieve certain things at certain ages, whether it’s your mother nagging you about having kids even though the time where people believed you had to have a child to be ‘complete’ is already long gone and people are more than allowed not to want children.

Or perhaps your old folks are demanding you ditch your artsy interest and find a more profitable profession – whatever it is, the moral of the story is that societal expectations suck, and it’s more than okay to ignore them.

Society loves to pressure people – however, it’s important to remember that everyone moves at their own speed in life

Life is about learning, growing and having a blast. We’re not some kind of machine that is programmed to achieve the highest standards possible, nor is it a competition – we’re living beings, and every one of us is doing things at our own pace, whether society wants to agree with it or not.

A Twitter user specializing in “sharing insights on wealth, wisdom and motivation to ensure you get ahead in life” shared a post suggesting that folks should have their lives figured out by 25.

Although a couple of web users agreed with the statement, many decided to speak out on the specific topic of social expectations.

American actor Luke Barnett took his time to reply to the thread, sharing that he didn’t produce anything until he was 29

Luke Barnett has previously worked with Will Ferrell’s Funny or Die comedy video website and film/television production company, where his pieces gathered millions of views and were nominated for Streamy awards.

The man also produced and starred in a recent satirical comedy Faith Based, which currently holds a score of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Barnett replied to the thread saying that he didn’t write a single word or produce a short until he was 29; he encouraged folks to stick to their own pace and advised people to “just enjoy life.”

The majority of Twitter users disagreed with Aaron’s statement

Most Twitter users didn’t agree with the author’s idea.

Some said that you will build and destroy your life many times throughout your existence, which is true, as no one is born knowing things.

@NadiaNarine mentioned that “every period of your life requires a different you,” and that it’s a shame that our society doesn’t acknowledge this and pressures people into thinking that if you don’t achieve certain things by 25, you must be a failure.

Although some found the post to be accurate

Naturally, there were a couple of netizens who had similar beliefs about life:

For instance, this Twitter user suggested that those who think that 20 to 25 is the age to party and travel end up broke and helpless. @MasculineSage said that “early age is the best time to lay the foundation for your empire,” since we won’t be that energetic forever.

Although to some, it’s somewhat praiseworthy that the man is willing to focus his life on achievements, sometimes it’s important to slow down and enjoy your mornings instead of rushing off to work in a frenzy.
