I agree with what you wrote here wholeheartedly. It’s perhaps just part of our evolution as a collective and maybe it’s totally ok. Being grownup is so overrated!
This has been on my mind as well. Even the TV shows targeted toward millennials generally follow characters that are in their 30s, with lives that look like they’re in their 20s. I had a small moment with it, wondering if there is something wrong with us? Is it bad that we “haven’t grown up?” I still keep waiting for the growing up to happen, despite being a homeowner and helping to raise my step kids. Then I consider how it was done before me, watching my mother in particular struggle with not being like her parents’ generation and also not quite being like mine, and I think I’d rather be just how I am than try to fit some strange ideal of what it means to grow up.
