    Wanderlust and not wanting to get married and have kids. People said I’d change my tune when my friends started settling down and having kids but they did and I became even more certain. I don’t dislike the kids at all but some of us are just born to be the rowdy uncles.

    As for Wanderlust, I have it worse than ever. I just slowly lose my mind until I travel and refill my sanity jar. (I might have actually lost it during the pandemic. When I got the 2nd dose of the vaccine, it was like a brain fog suddenly cleared because I could leave the U.S. again.)

      In my mid 30s and I thought it was a 20s thing. But I also see my friends setting down and worrying about extra-curricular activities and other parent drama. And to me, personally, it seems so petty and depressing.

      I got to travel a lot last year and will later this year and that feeling of wanting to explore has not gone away.
