Navigating my 20s🥺
I 'm about to turn 24(F), and I'm wondering if anyone else in their 20s feels this way. My mind is constantly racing with stress. You know that situation where you don't have a job, food is scarce n cant afford 3 meals a day , rent is overdue, and you're dodging the caretaker. The bills are piling up, and you can't rely on home because, deep down, you know they're counting on you too. But only you understand the reality on the ground. Going back home feels like failing, and home doesn't even feel like home
You go online, and everyone is complaining about unemployment, and you wonder, 'Till when?' Then you see others living what seems like a legit life, so you decide to try something new, but you end up procrastinating. You start to feel like you've lost hope in yourself. Suddenly, it hits you that you need to work on yourself and deal with so many unresolved traumas that you're not even sure you'll ever release. You also feel like you've lost yourself in this whole process.
Then there's the pressure to be present in the lives of some of your friends. It's just a lot. And on some days, you find yourself feeling sorry for yourself... And yet, life doesn't slow down for you; things keep moving regardlessðŸ˜.
