I just realised I feel very trapped in my life like there’s this invisible bubble surrounding me and i can’t get out of it.. but the bubble is actually a metaphor for like the way I’m supposed to live my life.
Everyday I wake up and my first thought is about having to do things that I don’t want to but feel like I have to.. and I have no choice. I feel like before i was born there was already this pre-set way of how my life was supposed to pan out and people expect me to follow it but it feels so suffocating and depressing.
I’m 20 years old and I feel like i’m struggling to keep up with these preconceived notions of how people expect me to live my life. I feel like it’s expected of me to get a degree, get a good paying job, a car, a house, a partner, first time around without messing up. And if I do mess up then I’m a failure, a disappointment..
As it stands those are the future goals im currently working towards but it’s a fighting battle everyday 😢 and it takes so much out of me. I’m working towards some of those goals even tho some of them are not ones i personally care that much about at the moment but I know what is expected of me and I feel like I have no choice. I also know that I don’t want to live in the country i currently live in for the rest of my life but I feel like I can never leave due to lack of resources. So I just feel very trapped in my metaphorical bubble. 😓
