agree with all of this, I’m almost 30 and still struggling but on the path to a good career.. like yourself I’ve spent time out of the country and doing all kinds of random jobs!I think a lot of "influencers" are a bit middle aged. At their age I was scraping by, had a weekend job to supplement my "career" job, didn't go out and about a great deal, but would go out for dinner or dancing with pals a couple of nights a month. I moved abroad for a couple of years, came back.
I'm now doing well for myself (not a brag, just the result of hard work), I bought my first house two years ago with my partner and we got engaged last Christmas. But I'm 36, I've had life experiences good and bad, I've had a lot of struggles, and I've had a lot of good times. I've made memories.
Can't help but feel they've nothing to aspire to - if you've got your "dream house" and are engaged in your mid 20s, what's left? Where do you go from there? And what have you deposited in your memory bank? Weekend trips to Home Bargains / B&M / The Range / Primark.
the ‘Instagram/influencer’ age are too precious to get their hands dirty. Everything has to be picture perfect.
I wrote something similar on the towie thread about influencers wanting to look like they’re in a photoshopped image 24/7 with all the fillers and their ‘perfect’ mannerisms, not a single strand of hair out of place... madness
