General Sadness of the State of the World

20 & Over Community / by AutumnHarvest

...See more Hi, I'm a 24f and I just graduated university in May and have been living with my parents looking for apartments in a new city. I'm am lucky to have some privileges as a white, middle class girl and I am incredibly thankful for that. But I'm also incredibly saddened by the state of the world constantly, be it the environmental state, the economic state, and all the other isms, and systems of oppression. To take a moment to be a little selfish, I'm seeing it heavily as I try to find an apartment in the city. I am feeling sad and hopeless as I look because it feels like my standards are way too high - but to me, they feel like basic things that people should have - like a stove, enough space to have more than just a bed and desk, and a little natural light for my plants. But as I look, I'm coming across many places outside of my budget that lack even these basic things. I understand your 20s are about "roughing it" but, with the state of the world, the increasing basic living costs and the fact that the future is completely uncertain due to climate change and capitalism - I'm finding it incredibly hard to feel like I'll even be able to live the way I want in the future. It doesn't help that I'm constantly told by my parents and other generations that they paid for their entire education themselves or had to work 3 jobs to afford a house, etc. I know there really isn't any solutions to this problem and will have to lower my standards for housing and living, but after working so hard in high school and university and being promised I'm working towards something - I'm burnt out and it feels like I'm not gaining any of the rewards of my hard work. Maybe I've just thrown myself a huge pity party, but thank you for listening none the less. For others who struggle with these feelings as well, what do you do to give yourself more hope and stop feeling like everything sucks? Thank you for listening.

What did you see first? Tells a lot about you!!!
