Hi Cole, thanks for posting and I am sorry to hear of your struggles.
I know and I understand in general, we are going through hard times. I totally agree that Covid has caused a whole host of ongoing issues including a wrecked economy. Know that you are not alone in feeling discouraged about not being able to buy your own place. Circumstances beyond our control are making it more difficult for almost everyone in the whole country to get by. I feel your pain and I know how discouraging it can be.
It's never too late to meet someone new, learn something new, or try something new. I'm usually all for keeping a predictable routine, however it's really invigorating to go out and try something new, even if it's as simple as trying a new restaurant or taking up a new activity like a video game or watching a TV sitcom. I get into these kind of funks too, working 5 days per week and not having the time or energy to do things I enjoy on my own time. Adulting is hard, speaking from experience.
Just hang in there and take it one day at a time. Cherish your time with your parents
Keep up with your hobbies and try enjoying some sunshine and fresh air. Please don't take it personal about your friends getting married and having kids and not hearing much from them. I encourage you to hit them up on Social Media and see how they're doing or if anyone you know lives nearby for you to catch up with. My thoughts and prayers are with you Cole D. and I enjoy your LG content very much. Take Care
