i have a bare basic theory that life is overwhelming in our 20s bc we don’t know how to phase things.
we want everything right here, right now, and even falsely think we’re sufficiently developed to sustain it if we do get it. but who wants to listen to this on a friday night.

i mean ok i guess.
idk but it’s like, we think life is linear and gracious. so one moment we’re 10 and having a bad childhood, the next we’re 23 and buying into the narrative that “your 20s are your best years” for a host of reasons and zero personal context.

so we see all these finer things in life, both material and abstract, and think they’re within grasp at the immediate moment because we’re good people who are owed their dues because we had had childhoods we think we can heal from by 27. everything becomes so cluttered.
we lose ourselves in the chaos, lose focus of what we are ideally working to accomplish, and when it all doesn’t manifest (sorry i’m using manifest correctly, it’s just this one time i promise), we lose our shit even though we didn’t have a cohesive system to accomplish desires.
like i said, bare basic.
idk about past generations, but my generation? boy oh boy we are an entitled, self-indulgent demographic. we understand the idea of the world being unfair but we also want what we think is owed to us handed to us on a silver platter. in an unfair world…

but ke it also has a lot to w the system we’re born into. read somewhere i can’t seem to remember that they did a study in america and kids of 8 months can recognise the mcdonald’s logo and mumble the mcdonald’s before their own surname. so your sense of material isn’t your fault
