Being 26 is secretly the worst and most pointless age in your entire twenties, and no one ever talks about how weirdly depressing it is

It's not mid twenties anymore, it's not almost 30, it's not even 25 or 28/29. Nup You're just trapped in this awkward limbo the in between of the in betweens where you're too old to be the fun young person but still too young for anyone to treat you like a real adult. One minute you're acting like you're 20, the next your back hurts for no reason and you're having a mini existential crisis about where your life is going.

26 feels like the gremlin year that nobody warns you about. It's overhyped as "lyour twenties but delivers none of the charm and all of the "what the fuck am I even doing" energy.
