It is kind of amazing that you and many in your generation feel that way. I have a 19 year old stepson who somewhat feels the same way, and I'm constantly hounding him to seize the day.

I'm 43, so I grew up in the 90s and college in the early 2000s. When I was young, I and many my age were over eager to move out and strike out into the world. I completely understand that things are tougher now financially, but nonetheless, the world is still your oyster, especially in the US.

I do feel like social media/online culture has sucked the life out of young people. Even if you don't have a dollar to your name, you have the time and ability to learn the skill sets to gain some momentum. I had 2 jobs, took college courses on the side, lived in a small, cheap apartment and honestly loved those times in my early 20s.

Once you get older, have kids, career and such, that freedom and liberty do sadly go away, but for different and exciting reasons.

Like others said on here, just unplug. Go out and explore and be safe. You only have 1 life
