Yeah, this all resonates with me. I was born in 1982. I feel like the world changed right around the time I started college and, by my mid 20's, it felt like everything I'd grown up believing was a lie. Just work hard, go to college, be good at what you do, be a good and honest person, and you'll go far. Yeah, right. I'm 32 and living with my parents. I've got my degree, I worked hard, I'm good at what I do, I'm kind and honest to a fault, but nobody gives a f***.
Of course the depression doesn't help, and my current situation feeds the depression, so now I'm just stuck in this vicious cycle.
