>grow up, expect that you'll have a family, a home, a job>get told to go to school, get good grades, go to college>most jobs fit a certain profile, 9-5, full time, beenfits, weekends offinstead, most of us live in apartments, we're lucky if we get roommates. we're lucky if we have significant others, much less long term significant others, even less than that if we're married. Most of those of us who went to college not only do not have a job in our field, we're in jobs we reasonably could have gotten without going to college, and most of those jobs are part time. those jobs we get that are full time are less 8 hour work days, and more 9 hour work days, often with irregular shifts, and rarely with weekends off.
our parents, schools, entertainment, etc, all sold us a world, and yet now that we're grown up, the world is nothing like we were told it was, but if we visit our parents, or turn on the tv, everything is still that world we were told about. So reality feels fractured, disjointed, to the point of madness. and occasionally we see people our age who are "having" that life to a certain extent, but even they aren't fully having it, so it feels even more alien, almost lovecraftian. as if two realities were placed on top of each other, and you can see the one that is supposed to be real, but never touch it, while you're living in the one that isn't supposed to be real, but it's all you can actually interact with.
