Megan Nolan says millennial adulthood feels just as uneasy as her teenage years.
Short term job contracts and expensive housing has left her generation with a permanent sense of insecurity.
As a teenager, Megan struggled to find her identity and place in the world, and felt 'wrong and different in the most profound and private of ways'.
She was told these feelings would pass. Now as an adult, however, the anxiety about her place in society has returned.
'Not knowing where your body will be from one year to the next, once you're out of your younger, wilder years, conjures a feeling not dissimilar to the nameless dread of adolescence,' she writes. This leaves Megan and her peers 'in a state of constant insecurity, certainly now, but in a deeper sense, always.'
