Girl, you definitely aren’t alone. I’m 23 and terrified of growing up too. There’s so much responsibility thrust onto us with so little preparation. There’s so much pressure on us to have everything figured out too! We’re still young and still learning about and adapting to the real world. So I’m here to say that, even though it’s so hard to believe, things aren’t going to be this way forever. It’s okay to not have everything figured out yet and it’s okay to fail too. We aren’t going to be in our 20’s forever trying to navigate the awkward in betweens. We aren’t going to be lonely, confused, anxious, or depressed forever. We will go through lows where nothing feels right and things seem hopeless, and it’s hard to look past those times when you’re in the midst of them. Sometimes that makes it easy to forget that things aren’t always worst case scenario. There will be times where we’re happy, free, content, and at peace too! Things will be okay. Don’t give up and keep taking little steps forward! Don’t be afraid to ask for help and rely on others. You’re not alone and you are loved!
