There must be something wrong with us.

The 20s is quite a weird decade.
We are surrounded by the most people we have ever been surrounded by.
And yet constantly feel alone.
And at 42 I realize that a large part of the reason is these self-imposed beliefs we live our 20s by.
A set of rules that we feel are fixed.
They are not.
This world...
