I'm in my mid-20s, I'm single, and I'm in the YSA branch.

There's a lot that I really love about my life right now, and there's also a lot that is confusing. And it's scary to have your whole life spread out in front of you, and you have no idea where it's going to go or what you're going to do.

The big things they talk about--careers and marriage and finances and all of these things--they all feel so big and scary sometimes.

For me, doing things like reading the scriptures, praying, is a way to manage that fear and anxiety, which are both things that I struggle with. When I have a day where I'm thinking about, "What am I going to do about my job? Or where am I going to take that?" then I can turn to the scriptures.

It's not, I read the scriptures and I'm like, "I am going to do this exact path." But when I invite the Spirit into my life, then I feel more calm and more at peace.

I've been putting more of an effort to try to stop and pause as I read and think about, "OK, how does this apply to my life? What sorts of things am I learning from these verses?" and try to slow down and make it less of, "I'm reading every day to check a box," and instead be able to make it really more of a study and a personal experience.
