Your 20s Are Weirdly Lonely

Lately I've been noticing the number of us in our 20s quietly overwhelmed, confused, emotionally exhausted, and still showing up to work, replying to messages, trying to make plans whilst getting over the last situationship and trying to invest whilst paying off debt and sitting in endless meetings, posting on instagram, paying bills, keeping it together. (Or just constantly pretending to)Good news is at least it's not just me and it's definitely not just you.This episode is an introduction to this space and the kinds of conversations we'll be having here.I don't have everything figured out and I'm not going to pretend I do, but there's value in trying to talk about the things most people avoid saying out loud.The pressure to become someone and set your life up. The loneliness coupled with the ambition and the identity crisis and keeping up with the pace of relationships (or lack thereof) and the fear of wasting your life. Wanting more while also feeling guilty for wanting more. And oh god, the decision fatigue. so. many. damn decisions.I want this to be our space to think through those things honestly, clearly, and without pretending we're already on the other side of them.If you've ever felt stuck between who you are and who you think you're supposed to be, welcome. This is for you.
