I had this weird epiphany last night after yet another failed dating prospect a week prior. I’m 26, about to be 27 this spring. I’m not where I want to be in life, I feel stuck and trapped so I’ve been applying for jobs left and right.

I also feel like I need to start anti-aging creams despite having a good skincare routine. I’m an attractive girl in her prime but dating has been a goddamn nightmare, because by the time men my age actually want to settle down, I’ll be old and unattractive. I’m feeling really anxious about life right now. I’m sure I’m not alone, but it’s awful. I’m probably overreacting but I need some peace of mind. Any advice?
