around the age of 25-27 your entire shit will start falling apart. Everything becomes intense, life seems like it’s a barrage of endless challenges, and you lose a bunch of your friends- all over the course of the next few years.
29/30 you will start to get a hold on things. Shit starts turning up, stabilizing. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel but everything still feels like constant, draining challenges.
Make it to 33.
god i hope this is true.
At 29 i was fortunate enough to be able to go back to college and it was SO much better/easier than the first time around. At 33 i graduated and got a job and escaped retail (which had been slowly killing me). Im sure it’s different for everyone, but the point is to keep trying. You’ll make it.
I’m 31, almost 32, and I’m finally 4 weeks on T, have some savings to get some much needed dental work, fought my job for a better salary with my team, am looking to move downtown. I cant wait to be 33. :)
And on the slightly younger side, I’m at that 28 mark and I can feel things shifting where they ought to be. It’s not that everything is suddenly falling into place, but that my efforts to grow and improve have helped me actually *put* things in place.
