Turning 23 is a cliff. This is a response to that conversation young 20somethings keep having at happy hour, over FaceTime, alone in their brain: I don’t know what I’m doing. It’s all so fucking crazy. My job’s fine, I guess. I want to move. I want a different life, but I’m not sure how to change it and even if I could, to what? Hindsight 20/Something is a chronicle of quarter-life crises—stories of moving to the midwest and losing a lover, losing your mind and changing your pronouns, renting a house with a urinal in the living room and getting a gun pulled on you at a gas station. It’s a book-shaped living room of honest friends—two architects, two nurses, an event planner, an immigrant med student, a poet, a nurse, a teacher, a web developer, the depressed, the wandering, the anxious—all in their 20s and all here telling you that it’s probably not okay right now. And that’s okay.
