There was so much flair I wanted to tag this with it definitely had to be “life” because I have so many mixed feelings about this.
I saw an old coworker at work today. He’s like 39, maybe 40. He had a literal baby with him. Thing is, I still see this guy occasionally. Had no clue he had a girlfriend (he was single the last time I saw him that I was aware of, about a year ago). I was happy for him and all, but the experience actually kinda fucked me up.
After that it had me start thinking about how fast life is going by. Like I’ve been working on getting into copywriting for about 2 years now, but I have very little to show for it. All I’ve done is work this stupid retail job ever since I graduated college. I feel like I never actually enjoy myself.
Dating is impossible (lol where do you meet people anymore anyway?) I met one girl I actually really liked and she moved away (piss poor timing, might I add). I want to go on a real vacation with someone but like…idk who, everyone’s busy. And I can’t afford it.
I kinda want to move out of the country because reasons but my family lives here. And again, can’t afford it, I work retail. And if I’m honest with myself, part of me is also just hoping to reconnect with that girl who moved away.
Anyway, I guess I’m just finding it very difficult to be optimistic about the future, and seeing as I turn 29 this year, I guess I’m just hoping to gain some perspective from people in their 30s, especially from anyone who’s run into any of these sort of scenarios (or any which fairly are similar).
Sorry for venting as well, it was a long day at work.
