107 days agoLately I’ve been wondering…
Why does it feel like our generation is exhausted all the time?
Tired at 25. Burnt out by 30.
But our parents worked 9–5s and raised families — and still had energy to live.
What changed? 🧵
(2/🧵)
It’s not laziness.
Most young people I know are juggling jobs, side hustles, and unpaid dreams.
Still, everything feels like a race — and rest feels like guilt.
(3/🧵)
Our parents had structure.
You go to school → get a job → build a life.
Now? You go to school → fight for unpaid internships → job-hunt for months → get underpaid.
(4/🧵)
There’s also the internet.
You’re constantly comparing yourself to someone who “made it” at 19.
You’re “behind” even if you’re trying your best. That constant pressure? Draining.
(5/🧵)
And let’s not forget:
• Cost of living is higher
• Jobs are fewer
• Social media is 24/7
• Mental health is fragile
• Family expectations are louder than ever
(6/🧵)
Maybe we’re not weak.
Maybe we’re just carrying more than we were ever designed to carry — alone.
(7/🧵)
To anyone feeling tired, overwhelmed, or “behind”:
You’re not lazy. You’re surviving in a system that wasn’t built for ease.
(8/🧵)
Take a breath.
Take a break.
Take your time.
You don’t have to earn your worth through exhaustion.
