The quarter life crisis is real. You’re becoming an adult, and growing into the person you are meant to be. You’ll shed lots of people, beliefs, even selves before you come into something that feels better and more like home.

It’s normal to shed and grieve the world and the relationships you thought you knew to be permanent in your childhood. It’s important to let yourself grieve and to understand that that is a very intuitive, human reaction to change in this scale.

Because it’s more than change— it’s transformation. And it’s reckoning with all the things you don’t actually like or want in life, with a more mature and present and understanding lens.

Know that it’s okay to experience periods of darkness, and it’s okay to ask for help too. And this is a lonely age we are in, and it’s an inherently lonely time of life you’re in on top of that.

Feeling it and being kind to yourself and trying to understand and care for yourself as best as you can is the best thing you can do. Thanks for sharing ❤️
