I feel more tired than I ever felt in a long time.

Tired of the same old routine, of waking at 6am, of doing worker bees' work, of being at the lowest of the food chain when I should be a mid-level executive at the grand old age of 25.

I always thought that being in your mid-20s is a big deal, you know? But turns out that there is nothing special. I still don't qualify for a credit card and still do not have a single cent to my name. I own no Gucci or Prada, despite my best intentions and have not even managed to embark on a single relationship.

If that is not failure, I don't know what else qualifies.

When I was younger, I feared being one of the mundanes. But now, I AM ONE OF THEM.
