* For twenty somethings still living at home who are restless and starting to feel resentment and belated teenage angst about life, love, and the future.
Did I ever mention how much I dislike being an adult? If it’s not one thing, it is another:
1. Parents still keep tabs and push their worries/insecurities and perceptions of people and situations and pass them onto you like a plague, causing one to second guess themselves, the situation, and the other person(s)’s motives.
2. Trying to schedule a meet-up with one person can be bad enough, but try juggling three. Yes- THREE! You have to balance schedules, friends, your friends’ boyfriends, your friends’ families, and your own inability to get from A to Z.
3. And what if that one younger person/co-worker of the opposite sex asked you a week ago to hang out but has yet to let you know their schedule or even talk to you via the social network as you both have not exchanged phone numbers? Is he "just busy” with school and work or does he know longer really want to just hang out?
4. And if you are like me- a late bloomer/wall flower who only just got her driving permit but has yet to get any real practice in behind the wheel - you are stuck at home with your family. A LOT. And as much as you love them, you are restless- you need to go out and experience life, hang out with people your own age, grab the bull by the horns, as it were. You want out. But everyone is busy- it’s Sunday night, everyone has to drag themselves from bed early the next morning (your OWN day off) to get to work. And the one person you would kind of like to hang out with hasn’t messaged you when their next day off is...and you don’t want to come off as needy or annoying by messaging them a lot and asking. Your acquaintanceship/friendship/whatever this is is still fairly new.
Ugh. Thank you, tumblr and tumblr-ers (Is that a thing? Because it sounds like...something) for allowing this restless twenty-something a place to vent and spew her insecurities...even though I doubt anyone is really listening anyway. Good night all. Pleasant dreams.
