Existential Thoughts You May Have In Your 30s
Like, really: why do I even try?
That last thought has you thinking, “Why do I even try? I work so hard. I spend so much of my days doing things I don’t really want to be doing. It’s a prison. I should be…journaling. Or traveling. Or meditating. Or laughing with friends.” Of course, you work hard every day because you have a future in mind. But, you also want so much to be present now. So it’s hard to contend with the fact that, if you want your future to be bright, you need to do work you don’t love today. But that robs you of today’s joy.
