I was led to believe by all the TV sitcoms of the 80s that I'd wake up one day in my 40s, everything would feel totally different, and then I'd take long walks and be thoughtful about stuff, buy an overpriced motorcycle and dye my hair badly. I'm solidly into my 40s and I just worry about climate collapse, becoming homeless, and my partner's health. I honestly wish that becoming less attractive was something worth worrying about.

    I'm just having a quarter life crisis over here, broke, working shitty jobs and wondering wtf my path in life even is. Will I ever get a better job then part time bs? A girlfriend or boyfriend? Children? Marriage? I don't even know man, the 20s is such a bullshit age.

      the 20s is such a bullshit age.

      I can sympathize with this, I have no fucking idea what I'm doing with my life

      Same lol. Trying to go back to college but I havent done it at all before and not sure where to begin. And being 28, it's not like I have the naive "oh I'll just get a cool awesome job that respects me and this won't be an issue anymore!" that younger twenties get, I'm all aware Im basically putting myself into worsening debt slavery just for the hope of doing slightly more fulfilling than living with my parents (maybe I can get a shitty apartment instead!) and listening to a bunch of 70 year olds get pissed about their order.
