hey, a lot of us are feeling that way, it's unfortunately the generation we inherited
I know how it feels, I don't even live on my own and I'm not sure if I will be physically able to, I've been in junior college for ten years now
but I think in this case we gotta reframe what our idea of success and accomplishments are
marriage and kids? how about happiness and contentment, how about aiming for your loftiest goals possible even knowing you won't get there exactly but you'll still end up somewhere
that's how I'm trying to look at it now, and I'm here for you if you need me
My mom likes to have the "when I was your age" talk
She was a single mom at 21 and had her own house and a good job and bla bla bla
I'm like back then you could get a house for as much as it costs to get a car today
But I just spent like an hour last night, laying in bed, thinking about so much stuff
Cause I feel very unaccomplished, and not in the "I should be married I should have kids" sense even tho that is part of it
Just like, I have no long term goals for myself anymore.
I can barely keep my short term goals without immediately losing motivation
I'm 30 and I'm working at Starbucks because I have no real desire for a career
There isn't anything I absolutely must do for work. Nothing I feel like I would be super happy doing most of my life.
I don't really want to be working at all tbh
I'm going to school for a degree I don't even care for so once I graduate, I'm not gonna do anything with it
So that feels like a huge waste of time and money
I'm single af. No bf or gf. Not married. No kids.
No one has any interest in me so I'm no closer to fixing that problem
I have no friends in Vegas.
My old coworkers who I got along so well with hate me now
So I can't even hang out with any of them anymore
And just going through the motions now
I've left zero impact so I feel like if I wasn't even around it wouldn't make much of a difference in the long run
