Everything seems so amazing when it’s new and fresh. Living alone, making your own money, entering a new part of the world socially, but it all can fall quickly. There’s this side of life where you can be in awe of how wonderful something looks, but it’s all just an inside secret of people pretending to enjoy it. The problem with everything is that people aren’t honest about how unhappy they are. We all lead each other astray to find others who can understand our suffering. It is rare for you to find someone who sells it to you straight, and tells you how miserable they are to live alone, to work 55 hours a week, to be endlessly on dating apps. You dive in, you hear “I have so much freedom! I met my husband on Christian Mingle!” and you realize, you are free from your parents, but now you are paying $2000 a month in rent, and that the woman’s husband is a convicted sex offender.
