The 20s are a highly documented time in our lives.
From podcasts to posts to infinite films and songs documenting the process of being young, I feel, though, that not many come close to capturing the anxiety of indecision that comes with being in your early 20s.
I know to some that may sound dramatic or ungrateful, and I am grateful, of course, to be experiencing this part of life with my health and body still able to support me fully. But that doesn’t discount the parts of my mind that wander and wonder why a constant sense of inadequacy lingers, and the feeling of being stuck becomes a constant.
