Adulting in Dallas, TX

Adulting in Dallas, TX

Adult at a cross roads.

It feels like just yesterday you were a carefree teenager and now you’re asking yourself if it’s too early to have a “quarter-life-crisis.” You’re living in Dallas, you have a place, you have a job, but people around you are moving forward and you feel stuck. 

You’ve worked so hard to get where you’re at, but the climb feels exhausting and something still doesn’t feel right. You keep wondering if you’re even on the right career path. You’re living through an ongoing global pandemic, along with political instability and a world that feels on fire. The weight of adulthood, career and friendships has never felt heavier, and dating is a whole beast of its own. It's a world of swipes and texts, superficial connections and ghosting. Finding someone who shares your values feels exhausting in a world with so much uncertainty. The pressure to settle down and maybe start a family looms large, but the choices feel limited and and you’re tempted to just give up. 

Making and keeping friends feels harder than it should be.  As you’ve gotten older, maintaining meaningful connections has become more challenging. The loneliness that sometimes creeps in makes you yearn for the carefree days of college when friendships were simple and uncomplicated.
