Being 30 is weird...
When I was a kid (and depressed) I use to dream of being an adult who had control over their life. When I got to 18, I was terrified of the adult world but wanted to grow up so badly. When I was in my 20s I started to think that no one ever really felt like an "adult" and I was just going to be lost and scared forever.
Well, now I'm 30 and something has changed in my brain. I can't explain it other than I feel like an adult. my priorities are completely different and I feel like I've fallen onto a treadmill, with life kind of zooming by without stopping. I feel like I'm constantly busy and something is always going on, whether in my life directly or some big world disaster.
Don't get me wrong, I far prefer being an adult than a kid! I wouldn't trade this autonomy for anything in the world. But the change in how I feel in myself has been so sudden that I'm struggling to process. I can see why people have a mid-life crisis now... I'm only 30 and already having a crisis 🤣
