You wake up at 25 yo. Make coffee. Go to work. Come home at 7. Too tired to do anything but scroll and sleep. Then Friday hits, maybe you go out, maybe you're too exhausted. Suddenly you realize: when did 15 become 10 years ago? You don't feel 25. You feel stuck in a loop you never signed up for. Here's what they don't tell you: this is by design. The 9-to-5 wasn't built for your dreams. It was built to drain you just enough to keep you compliant. You work, consume, repeat. No time to question. No energy to build. And before you know it, 25 becomes 35, then 45. The system needs you tired. Because tired people don't rebel. They just survive. So if you're 25 and feeling this, you're not broken. You're waking up. And that older version of you? They're not begging you to enjoy it. They're begging you to escape it
Nobody prepares you for the fact that you will go through some of the most heart shattering experiences of your life and are still expected to show up for work. Take care of yourself. Pay your bills. Meet your goals. Just carry on… it’s awful
