Confessions of a 20-Something
Does anyone else ever feel like there's an unbelievable weight sitting on their chest? People ask, "Are you okay?" and every day you give the same answer, "Yeah, I'm good, thanks."
Not because it's true, but because you've never really had the option not to be okay. You've never had the freedom to think or feel anything beyond what one specific person allowed you to think and feel. Then, for a brief moment, you got a taste of freedom. The fog started to lift. You began to question things, evaluate your life, form your own opinions, and figure out what you actually wanted.
You found yourself back in the same controlled way of living, except this time without the blinkers on. Now you can see it all for what it is. Every compromise. Every frustration. Every piece of yourself you've had to swallow to keep the peace. So you bite your tongue. You carry on. You smile when people ask if you're okay. All while hoping you can keep the anger, resentment, and frustration contained long enough that it doesn't eventually implode and take your whole life with it.
