Lighthearted one.
Im an elder millennial who has recently downloaded TikTok for my sins!!
Morbid curiosity I started following a couple of girls in their 20s who lived in the same city as me. They are micro bloggers I guess. I think at first it made me feel nostalgic but now it’s making me feel that not only did I waste my youth but they are wasting theirs!!
They’ve recently moved to Australia. At the moment they spend their days drinking matcha (never had a matcha myself but for them it’s a daily ritual), wearing identical clothes to each other (mainly oversized grey hoddies which make them look way less attractive than they are) and just hanging. They went to uni but didn’t seem to enjoy it, barely attending, and put more energy into their student jobs in fitness. They don’t make Auz look like somewhere in be dying to go.
I think of all the days I lazed away in my early 20s and watching others do it, I can’t help feeling like it’s a waste of a youth!
I wish I hadn’t prioritised going out, hanging with friends so much, and rather taken the educational opportunities I had and really made the most of the experience, and actually appreciated the opportunity to learn and have experiences through which I’d have gained knowledge.
Am I completely daft or does anyone relate go this??
