Young adult says goodbye to her adventurous self as she settles in, falling fond of her monotonous daily routine: ‘Life is so chaotic, I feel grateful to have a safe space’

Let's raise a glass for our collective inner explorer, the one still weighing "Should I climb a mountain?" and "But who'll water my succulents?" while pretending not to resent people who've figured this thing out.

The person who shared his story could be a poster child of Enlightened Mediocrity™, casually flexing their ability to enjoy sunrises without so much as a whisper of existential panic. Meanwhile, I'm over here mistaking iced coffee for personality and hate-watching reels at 2 AM.  

Our hero's life sounds like a Pinterest board curated by an accounting influencer who retired early. Pre-dawn rooftop serenity? I'm over here snoozing through seven alarms while my cat judges me for not having a morning gratitude practice (he prefers his chaos served with a side of knocked-over water glasses). That sports car commute? Must be nice being able to afford an extremely premature midlife crisis and channel it into responsible acceleration while I'm debating whether expired yogurt counts as breakfast.
