Why 50% of Young Adults Are Failing to Launch
@"We're facing a crisis. And it’s because our generation is terrified of commitment."
Pew Research shows that almost 50% of young adults are living with their parents. Marriage rates are dropping. Birth rates are plummeting. Why?
Because we think commitment is a trap. We think that by refusing to choose a partner, a career, or a definitive path, we are keeping all our doors open.
But here is the psychological reality of modern Peter Pan Syndrome: If you keep every door open, you just end up living in the hallway. And the hallway is a cold, lonely place to die.
Make a choice. Walk through a door.
