Almost every person I feel closeness with in the world lives in a different city at the moment. Why do we do this to ourselves? The next couple decades needs a capital city everyone moves to and doesn't leave!! The internet is not an option.

recently just read this 🥲 annehelen.substack.com/p/youd-be-happ…

As someone who spent most of her childhood and young adulthood living in different countries… this has been, like, my whole life 🙈 I don’t know any different, don’t even know what it feels like to live close to family.

Making friends as an adult is definitely tricky 🥺 and also by the time we reach a certain age we sort of… don’t want to make any more friends 🙈 it’s so tough and I’m sorry you’re going through this 😞

Related: Anne Helen Petersen’s writing about our generation is always sooooo spot on. Dang

Oh this was the first time i came across her writing, gonna find out more👀

She wrote a book I’m dying to read about remote work / home office called “out of office” & in 2019 had this piece in buzzfeed about “the burnout generation”: buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/annehe…

oooh out of office sounds intriguing! (i’m target audience 💀) Thanks so much for sharing! Saved this burnout piece for read
