On 27: what next?
18 Dec 2019 12:1927 is a strange age.
You have a whole bunch of big life things happening in quick succession in your late teens and early 20s: you turn 16, 18, 21 and 25. You finish school, you finish college, you finish university.
And now I'm here, at 27, feeling a little like I'm in limbo. I'm not exactly in my mid 20s, but I'm not really in my late 20s. I'm nearing 30 which is what has always seemed like the age when you're a 'grown up'. Mostly I'm sitting here wondering... so what next?
I've got a job but it's not my dream job, it's not a career, it's not what I want to be doing for the next 50 or so years until I retire. I don't think it helps that I don't know what I want to do for the rest of my life.
Even the concept of 'the rest of my life' seems incredibly overwhelming and utterly terrifying. It leaves me frozen with uncertainty and indecision. And brings me all the way back to... so what the fuck comes next?
