“I'm 25 and I run a small content agency on my own. I'm tired and don't know what to do, and I need help thinking it through.
My income is unstable and my outreach gets almost no replies. Each day is the same loop of work and outreach that doesn't lead anywhere. I took the whole weekend off and felt no relief about tomorrow.
I'm thinking about settling for a job. A lot of my friends are way ahead of me. They make more money and have a life, with office outings, parties and friends, while I'm stuck in my room. I'm not ungrateful, my money isn't bad, but the lack of stability is real.
I feel very lonely. I don't have one friend I can tell this to. My girlfriend listens, but she just says "it's gonna be alright" or stays silent, because she's never lived this kind of life. It feels like nobody understands me and nobody will.”
