Yes, this is another blog about being in your twenties. It's another blog about being unemployed and lost and broke and unsuccessful. Plus some other things. It wouldn't surprise me if you read this first entry or even stopped reading right here and clicked 'next blog'. Because who wants to listen to my rants and whining about being a millennial, how student loans are a going to destroy the progress of our generation, about finding true love or learning something as trivial like a new shortcut to work? I don't know how the generation before us handled this moment and I'm not sure who voted that this was an option for coping. It could be our constant desire to be heard even if it is mostly nonsense. (See Twitter and Facebook) But it seems to work so I'll give this a try. In all honesty though, I need to do this blog. Therapy is expensive and I have five more years to deal with this stuff. So blog I shall.
I have ran across a few books about dealing with the quarter life crisis. Have I ever read one? Nope. You see, I've read a few articles, more than a few, about how to deal with this moment in life. Most of them mention advice about staying positive, learning to save money, getting a hobby and all that beautiful jazz. When I get to the next topic about, I don't know, 'learning how to advance at work', I usually click the back button on the menu bar and find a funny Buzzfeed video. It's not that I don't think that this advice isn't a great start to getting past all of this. I just don't think it's for me. I've been told I'm a negative person and I've tried to flip that image into believing I was just being realistic about my circumstances. Seriously though, I'm just negative as hell. I just don't think that advice applies to me. It's not what's going to get me through this. But this blog will. At least it's what I believe.
I've never been a great communicator and I have tried. Yet, I've never been able to find the right balance between bottling my feelings and hurting people's feelings. Writing things down used to be my way of coping. Over the years, I got away from that. So this blog will serve as my big girl diary. And I'll apologize for any grammatical and spelling errors, controversial topics and every other little thing society just can't handle. Welcome to this 'thing.'
