Quarter Life Crisis
Any of my older Gen Z going through a quarter life crisis? Like just settling into their careers and acclimatizing to the daily 9-5 grind, knowing that this is how things will be for the next 40 years. Feeling like the passage of time is too slow and too fast at the same time. Feeling like you're falling behind in some aspects when compared to your peers. Losing that child-like wonder when every day was filled with new experience. First day of highschool, going to college, first kiss, etc. But now, working my 9-5, cooking meals, running errands, exercising, and just coming to the realization that this is just how things will be.
With all this in mind - I'm trying my absolute best to change things up. Taking part in hobbies that I onced enjoyed when I was younger. Debating on moving out (even though I really don't have to), just to become more independent. Overall, just going out of my way to try new experiences to add more life to my days.
