This is so suspiciously relatable.

I loved this so much. So comforting knowing we are all deep down feeling those same aches. Keep writing! I read every single post.

I love your venn diagram analogy. As a parent of three adult children in their late 30s and early 40s, that image made sense to me.

I’m with you on the occupational search for purpose and the exhaustion. Thank you for writing such an honest piece. May the Lord grant you clarity with each faltering step forward.

I loved this so much drew! Like that Bansky mural that says, "don't grow up! it's a trap," how we wish we could turn on and off this "adulting" thing (I really hate how being an adult is now a verb btw). The reality is, we're just never really quite *there* anyway.

Ps. I could stare at that Monk by the Sea all day
