"We are in the US so this may not be relevant to all folks our age but: Can you even imagine if we weren't worrying about the full collapse of American society? Like what would these adult years in our 30s and 40s - entering full-on proper adulthood - be like if literally any boring guy or gal was president?"
"A regular day in my late 20s was STUFFED: Exercise, shower, egg bites and a smoothie, commute to the office, coffee, emails and phone calls. Lunch is a 3-mile walk including a couple puffs off the weed vape. Leave work at 5 p.m. and commute to the gym for a 1-hour Muay Thai class. Head home for weight training and dinner, then get high and play video games while chatting homies and girls."
Millennials report pervasive low energy, chronic exhaustion, and a loss of youthful joie de vivre during their 30s and 40s. The malaise often lacks ties to parenthood, sleep loss, or heavy partying. Cultural, political, and economic pressures create persistent anxiety and erode confidence in institutions. Many imagine adult life under stable, competent leadership as more secure and less draining. Personal routines have shifted from densely social, high-energy days to cautious, smaller-scale activities and avoidance behaviors. Nostalgia for earlier freedom collides with practical concerns about housing, governance, and long-term stability, producing a sustained sense of winter in life.
