For me I was 22 when it started. And now I’m 24. I know it’s a bit different but I keep having this feeling that the period you’re describing for me was rudely cut off. I had anxiety at school and my first year at uni I lived alone. So the life you’re describing started at 20.

I’ve been a bit of a tourtise that’s slow to came out of its shell. After finally becoming socialised I felt like 2020 was set to cash in the chips. I finally had Melbourne friends (I moved for uni)

For me at least I got all of those things 20 to 22. But now I have a grad job and feel old, like I have to start properly saving and stuff. But I don’t feel old, I feel scared that if I start doing those things I’ve accepted being old and there’s no way back.

Every extra week feels like it’s too long because I only have a sliver of time left before I become “mid twenties”. And I’m not afraid of moving to the next stage of life but the previous stage is incomplete.

The other thing that’s frustrating is that now nothing’s happening, and in the past you were having fun, so you get this feeling of dread that your life is over, that there is nothing fun left, because all you have left are memories of some funner times.
