Millennials were told to ‘have it all’ instead, we’re burnt out, broke, and grieving the future we were promised
By Freya Bugeja
I’m 35, a mum of two young children, working in PR and commuting into London two days a week. On paper, my life is great and I’m living out what we we’ve all been told would lead to a “good life”.
But the truth is, living this way doesn’t always feel like balance, it feels like a tightrope walk.
There is an underlying pressure that I believe all millennials feel the weight off, this is to work to a high standard, go above and beyond, maintain a strong social life, be ever present for your kids (if you have them), and generally continue our upward mobility.
However, in doing all that it can simultaneously feel as though the walls are caving in and we’re letting everyone down.
On top of that, life isn’t........
