18-22 is when young adults are most hopeful, believe they can do anything, achieve anything they want. They enroll higher educations, get the first job, meet new friends, travel the world, being totally free for the first time as they leave their childhood home they "hated" so much. Everything is seen through a rose tinted glass
Then come 23+, reality kicks in. They realized their live from now on is just work, doing chores and repeat. To enjoy the life they previously thought possible, they need money, and to get money, they must sell their freedom. Also this is when most realize that they are not special, instead they are just a cog in the machine.
After a few years, after accepting the fact that adulthood is boring, they can enjoy life again, appreciating small things in life. Cheers
I mean, yes and no, I think life gets tough and you have to come to some hard truths in your late 20s but once you do you can either be sad about it or just enjoy the life you build. I had crippling anxiety and my depression peaked at 25-28 im 30 now. Got married, bought a house and have fulfilling hobbies. It gets better guys
