#because a lot of musicians n actors who didnt come from wealth (n even some who did) ALSO had really shitty and miserable twenties

remember, if you're having a bad time in your twenties you're just working and/or have really good work ethic and a sense of responsibility. the people going out and having all the fun are spoiled rich kids and lazy people who willingly have no job or do bare minimum effort.

if you're in your twenties and having a miserable time it's because you're working on bettering yourself and making sure your future is bright and free of financial strain, toxic relationships, and unresolved trauma. it's not fun to work through your shit or worry about money or worry about your health but you're doing that right now in your young adult age and that is a commendable act.

your twenties suck because you're working hard to stay on the right track at a point in your and your peers' lives that puts a lot of pressure on you to be fun, sexy, and free. and that pressure comes from all directions, not just social media. there has never not been a time that romanticizes ones twenties. you'd be feeling like you were missing out a century ago too because you're getting your shit together while sally and fred are down the street at the club drinking champagne and dancing the night away and not worrying because her well off parents are taking care of her and he has an easy high paying position at his father's company.

nothing has changed except names and slight details, but the spirit of the struggle remains the same. you're doing fine and working hard with the very little you were given. things seem shitty and you feel like you're missing out on everything because you're being an adult for the first time and you're actually trying. but as long as you keep working it will get better because right now you are laying down the foundation for a healthy, happy, functional, and comfortable rest of your life and you're working so fucking hard.

i'm so proud of you.
