I just came from my first time doing volunteer work of my own free will. I’m normally very lazy and prefer to be on the couch in bed on a Saturday, but I’m glad I did something productive today.
I’m 24, I have a good job, great friends, and enough money, but I still feel very unfulfilled. Maybe doing volunteer work will help fill that void. Or maybe I need a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend. I’m not really sure.
The 20s are so weird. I feel unsettled and unsatisfied and inspired and scared and brave and incompetent and underutilized and bored and overwhelmed all the time. I guess everyone feels this way, but it’s still very isolating. If you’re reading this and you feel this way, I hope you know you’re not alone.
