your not experienced
enough to work
to be your own self
but you are also too old
to depend on multiple others
this will vary throughout life
welcome to transition
to active adulthood
later decades will await
phantom old age transition
aging health issues
loss of loved ones
changing circumstances
dice are rolling cast
opportunities are stacked
leap off point arrives
