It's only been 4 months since graduation and I've already lost sight of the person I told myself I wanted to be. My identity is slipping away, and I'm too overwhelmed and afraid to face it. So I don't face it, and I don't do anything about it.
4 months since graduation and I'm already one of 'those people.'

Tell me about it! Life has gotten so much slower. And every day that I'm living at home I feel part of me slipping away, which is a shame because college was a time to build from scratch a new 'who you are and what you want to be'. Now we're all living a life of job search struggles and fading identities and crippling confidence
umm-accidentally deleted my comment!!
I know precisely how you feel. But the college experience was a unique coming together of different aspects of life. It can't be repeated and needs to be treated as just another part of life that has passed-like childhood. Only the relationships and perspectives formed can carry on
On a lighter note, I know that I'm a fabulous person. SO it stands to reason that since I am inherently fabulous, anything I do will also be fabulous as well. I may play the same game as "those people" to get by, but I do a Hades of a more fabulous job at it. In summary, Stef, I see no reason why you are any different from me!
