90s Kid. Anxious Adult. Doing My Best-ish.
Hey, I’m Abby! 👋
A 90s kid, creative introvert, self-taught artist, and millennial woman in her 30s who’s still trying to figure out this whole adulthood thing.
Growing up in the 90s and early 2000s, I thought that by 30, I’d have life figured out. A successful career, my own home, financial stability, and maybe even my happily ever after.
Spoiler alert: Life didn’t exactly go according to plan.
Instead, I’m navigating adulthood, mental health struggles, changing dreams, unexpected setbacks, and the realization that growing up doesn’t necessarily mean having everything figured out.
And somewhere between the nostalgia of Saturday morning cartoons, Tamagotchis, dial-up internet, and the reality of bills, burnout, and responsibilities, I started questioning something.
Who decided what a successful adult life is supposed to look like anyway?
That’s why I created The Millennial Mind.
A little corner of the internet for millennials who grew up believing life would look a certain way, only to discover that adulthood is a lot messier, more complicated, and sometimes more exhausting than we imagined..
I’m not a therapist, life coach, or someone who has all the answers. I’m simply a fellow millennial sharing my experiences, lessons, struggles, and little victories along the way.
Because maybe being 30 doesn’t mean we’re running out of time.
Maybe we’re just getting started.
And maybe success isn’t about checking off society’s imaginary adulthood checklist.
Maybe it’s about creating a life that feels like our own.
Welcome to The Millennial Mind.
A place for nostalgia, honest conversations, imperfect growth, and figuring out adulthood one overwhelmed millennial moment at a time.
Still growing. Still figuring it out. Still doing my best-ish. 💗
