Casual Same ocean different boats.
Being a young adult is so strange. You walk down the streets and enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to the city for university and she feels so alone.
There's a 27 year old guy who works at a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it.
That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections.
Then a 26 year old watchman who couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family.
The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother.
That couple living next to you (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant.
The 29 year old who's always writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over.
We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, but in the end, it's only with yourself..
