Me when I was 16 and was a semi finalist in a world wide poetry contest and almost getting published (would've been if my mom helped me with the legal paperwork). Now I'm almost 28 and have Epilepsy so I can't even work a job without ending up in the hospital in a medically induced coma to recover from seizures 🥴
“I swear 16 was yesterday. But now I’m closer to 28…” This song is related to me, I feel everything in it. ;) I will play this song on my 28th birthday in next month. Love it so much! ❤
I'm not the target demographic for this song - I'm 30. But I do remember my quarter life crisis, and this song would've been such a comfort back then! I will say that in your late 20's you do start to feel more secure in yourself. You're less lost and you feel like you can stand up for yourself without crying or clamming up. You make your needs known after a lifetime of keeping quiet. You set boundaries with people and stick to them. You recognize and respect the resilience that got you through those uncertain, tough times in your 20's. You learn from your past mistakes - some of them you'll look back at and cringe, almost not believing you actually did that! But you'll also grow into who you are, and you'll be more confident in your beliefs. It's... almost like your early 20s are spent on a ship in rocky waters, and late 20s and 30s are stepping onto the pier, leaving the wind tossed waves behind for solid ground. Don't misunderstand, it's not perfect. You'll still get insecure at times. You'll still doubt your abilities, and question every social interaction. But it's less, and with years of handling those issues behind you, you can approach moments of insecurity/uncertainty with more self compassion and an understanding you'll get through this. It gets better once firm ground is beneath your feet. You'll get there. 🌻
I’m 28 and felt all of this. Thanks for sharing and putting into such beautiful words. Life is such an amazing thing and it always blows my mind on how similar different ages are for most of us.
Thanks for your kind words. I'm 23 and in real bad mental state regarding my clear. Have become very under-confident and skeptical about my abilities. Nothing seems to interest me, as if I've lost all hobbies. Nothing really excites me. A sense of melancholy looms and you just can't say all this to anyone. Your words that things eventually do settle, are comforting. ❤️
I turned 32 this year and what you wrote here is perfectly accurate on the transition that we go through during our late 20s and into our 30s. My husband just turned 30 and before he did I explained to him how this is the point in your life were you will step into yourself and those feelings of being lost and fumbling around will begin to fade. For those of you who are beginning your 20s, take your time to fumble, learn, and make your mistakes. That is what your early adulthood is for, that is what growth is. Your 30s will be your decade for knowing yourself more completely because you let yourself explore and try new things, even if they don't work out.
I'm coming up on 25 and this song HITS HOME. Sometimes it's really hard to put into words the feeling of being in your 20s and feeling out of place, feeling out of sync with everyone else around you, and just BURNED OUT or INSECURE amongst things and people you never thought would feel this different as an adult. Thank you for so eloquently and authentically putting these feelings into a song as beautiful as this; it's like hearing the emotions I feel out loud 💜
I’m 23, two weeks ago today I lost a friend due to a motorcycle accident. We had every class together, the teachers had to separate us because we cut up too much. We haven’t spoke in 5 years, but I know I’ll be missing his light in this world for the rest of my life. RIP Joe. Look twice and save a life.
I'm 21 and can definitely relate to these lyrics! Sometimes I think we need to stop comparing our milestones to others just because they're the same age. We all work at different paces and what is meant to be for us will be, no matter how soon or late it happens in comparison. 💛
I'm gonna be 21 soon and it's so close to 23, I feel so much anxiety for some reason and I need to remind myself of your words constantly. Some people I knew back in middle school are now starting families and getting married, and here I am still living with my dad and I have no idea what I'm gonna do with my life.
@@daisy4075 Firstly, thank you so much for your reply! 💛 Yes, I'm much the same, a little lost career wise, still at home and also know some people from school that are engaged/married and having children! I am so glad my words had an impact, I almost had tears when I read your comment! Don't stress, everything will work out if we just go with the flow!
@@nataliebaker6464 you are so right. I am trying to remind myself that and just do what I feel is right at the moment. Luckily my dad supports me in what I want to do and is always willing to help me. I’m just glad I’m not the only one who struggles with this stuff and feels so behind in life.
@@daisy4075 Definitely not! Seems like there are quite a few of us out there. A supportive family is just the best (I have one too 🥰) Best of luck with your life adventures, and Merry Christmas! 🎄💛
@@daisy4075 Honestly that so weird that they’re already married and having kids, so theres really no reason to feel like you’re behind. People in my country at that age are still in university and have only a boyfriend/girlfriend at max
Lyrics I'm terrified of rejection But I get high off attention I drink my coffee light 'cause I'm not fucking pretentious Say that I read for fun But haven't read in months Say that I'm settling down But I blacked out at brunch I swear sixteen was yesterday But now I'm closer to twenty-eight I'm focusing all of my energy on just staying awake Oh, I don't need to keep Making it about me Everybody feels like this at twenty-three I know I'm not unique But I'm a drama queen I don't why I'm surprised It's just a quarter life crisis I'm constantly symptomatic Mom says it's psychosomatic That I'm the girl that cried headache I'm melodramatic as hell Where's all the talent that I had last decade Another gifted kid that burned out in the tenth grade Swear that feels like yesterday I'm just a tired old cliché I'm focusing all of my energy on just being okay Oh, I don't need to keep Making it about me Everybody feels like this at twenty-three I know I'm not unique But I'm a drama queen I don't why I'm surprised It's just a quarter life crisis Oh, oh-oh It's just a quarter life crisis And I just found out That someone from my high school is dead And another one is married with a kid And the rest are all lying on the internet I fall for it every time It feels like that falling behind I don't need to keep Making it about me Everybody feels like this at twenty-three I know I'm not unique But I'm a drama queen Oh-oh I don't need to keep Making it about me Everybody feels like this at twenty-three I know I'm not unique But I'm a drama queen I don't why I'm surprised It's just a quarter life Everybody feels like this It's a quarter life I don't why I'm surprised It's just a quarter life crisis
@☻Luhvbestoys☻ -Revamping the video has the lyrics exactly the millisecond the word is pronounced. When you wanna sing along it's good to have them on screen a couple seconds later don't you think?
I am dealing with .. so so so much. Anxiety stress and just other mental health issues im not even comfortable writing on the internet just yet. Im 23 and i felt like a big bozo for not having my shit together, financially, career wise and just being independent. Ive been pushed and pushed and i see every one making it to college, having professions they've wanted and worked hard for, getting married at 21- yet ive always fell for their publiced happiness wishing i knew my arrow of where im supposed to be. Ive been daydreaming dysfunctionally about my self worth and life purposes, career dreams. It took over a lot of me since childhood. Now i sit in stress knowing years passing me by in my adult life and im still nowhere close to those goals yet further behind. THIS fucking song really made me feel less alone.... and will forever be grateful of this sign, knowing i dont have to be like every one else and know exactly what to do at a certain timeline. Shit needs to be slow sometimes, i need to take my time and that's the most comforting thing yet tonight, beautiful song sang by such a beautiful voice. Thank you.
I'm 21 and it's giving me goosebumps right now like how everything changes so first and i still feel like the girl who quietly sitting in school and having her best life but at that time we didn't realise...maybe I'll see this comment some years later and can reminiscence this time as well ...hope we all achieve success in our life
25 still doing my Bachelors in Computer Science and internships here. Its never too late! No matter if you're 25 or 45 or 65! Getting my shit together! 🤞
This makes me feel better I’m 25 (eighth grade education, I dropped out in 10th but ADD cause to me fuck off two years because online learning and now have GED) and want go college so bad but scared it too late
I just turned 27, and all these years I still can't forget what I had when I was 16. Feels like I wanna go back but I also feel like I am left behind from pursuing all my dreams. This song connects to me somehow.
focussing all my energy on staying awake , i am a drama queen , where is all the talent that i had last decade, another gifted kid that burned out in the tenth grade . how how are you so accurate Taylor ? Glad to have found this song
I’m 38 and I vividly remember feeling like this in my 20s. Strangely the feeling doesn’t really go away….just gets duller as the adult responsibilities get heavier.
This song means so much to me. Especially with everything that has happened recently. I just feel like I've hit a plateu in my self-improvement journey (if you can call it that). I feel like I'm stuck, while everyone is moving and has something going on for them. I know that I'll probably be fine but currently it feels so so shitty. Anyway, I'm glad I've stumbled upon this song, I've found some comfort in it
I turned 23 yesterday. I spent my teen years traveling, seeing the world, and was still so unable to be me. Now I know who I am and stuck in one place for the foreseeable future. This song hits on so many levels.
Taylor and I have competed in show choir against each other and other singing competitions and I’d like to say she is one of the sweetest people you’d ever meet and her talent was always showcased yet she remained humble. Love her music, keep going Taylor! 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
time flies so quickly, and now I'm turning 28 and already have 2 children..and do you know that when you were 16 years old it felt like you didn't have a burden, just thinking about yourself... :))
From the beginning of my 20s and until now, at 27, I was in a perpetual quarter life crisis. 2023 marks one decade since I graduated high school and it can be terrifying. Thank you for posting this. So relatable.
I just found this song through a RUclips short and have now listened to it on repeat at least 2 dozen times while im cleaning my kitchen singing into my broom handle. So talented and such a good song!!!
i'll be 25 in feb, will finish college next month and i'm single while all of my friends are dating someone, getting engaged or married... i've been just feeling like a loser, even if i have a good job and i'm ahead of my friends in other aspects. i've been crying my eyes out and every rejection i get just hits so bad, feels way worse that it actually is. this song came out right when i needed it, thank you very very much
I don't know but can I share here? Yes I'm burnt out, it all started at 10th grade when my dad died. I feel like I'm okay now but not so so. I'm constantly, eagerly trying to bring back the old me that was so carefree and not really questioning everything I do. Just 3 days ago, I turned 23 and I thought I would be able to you know, not breakdown this month like I did the first 2 months but turned out I couldn't still get over it. My bestfriend died 8 months ago and my grandma a year and 5 months ago but knowing all my comfort people are not around, i don't know anymore.
I just heard this music in TikTok and here I am falling in love to every lyrics knowing that I am one of those people that has been falling behind everything; what ifs have been bumping towards my head and relate to how most people deal with these crisis in this quarter of our lives.
I felt this at 23. I’m 43 and my oldest is now 23 and feels this. It’s sounds cliché when people say “It gets better.” But it’s TRUE. And you may have to rediscover or reinvent your talents and gifts but it’s not too late for you. You may not be where you hoped you’d be but you are alive and you are not a tree. ❤ much love
God I'm about to be 22 years in a few months and am literally crying r.n, the future seems so bleak, having no money...feeling so broken and alone in my periods..even when I have a boyfriend... may God Bless all girls out there I feel y'all sis..much power to all of you❤
Turned 27 on 10th of May (2 months ago in a week), been feeling like this more and more since my 20th birthday, didn't think I'd ever find a song out there that would put my feelings into words so accurately, that I could relate to it so much, I'd feel like crying at the first listening, that is so much out of my genre. Great great piece. And now I'm in love with it and gonna loop it for the rest of summer at the very very least.
This hits different because I turn 28 next month! It’s so interesting because my life is so different from what I envisioned. But I’m also really happy I didn’t marry the guy I was dating at 23 and that I changed careers. Sometimes quarter life crises or life crises in general are good redirections with the right supports like therapy and good community. And I love my life now. There is hope for all of us yet! Great song ❤ relatable! 😊
I’m 23 now and it’s definitely been the most confusing year of my life…quarter life crisis worthy! I love these validating, relatable lyrics. I still feel like I’m going to feel this way and I’ll be singing and relating to the song 24 by Sundial, next year 😅
Im turning 28 this 30th of December. This song hits me so hard. Time flies so fast and life from then is much different from now. We might experience this quarter life crisis but then its our choice to find our happiness. I dont have kids, Im not married but I choose to be happy. 😊
I'm 23, and doing my master's program in a foreign country. I used to be top of the class, but now I'm just trying to survive every lecture. Two months ago, a professor whom I've known for four years from my uni passed away. And I've just learned that one of my classmate from uni got married to a girl that wasn't my other classmate whom he dated back then for 3 years. Things changed so fast, but I'm just over here feeling burned out every day.
A night found this song and put it on. going in circle in my room. on the roof. until 4 to 5 in the morning. I always thought i am different. and i will make things better or at least have a special life. I tried to do that since i was 15 or 14. anyway now I am 20s. in my senior year. i will be 21 when i go to colleges. if i get a good grades. I always liked psychology and i am trying to study brain as Neuroscientist. I like and understand Physics too. Anyway i just a burned kid. i don't know if i am gifted. Life Will Break us all. we should just have to endure reality and try to get as much as possible. just wanted to say art and song should help us endure reality. i should be more than music notes. in other side help us see the beauty in it. some time describing something in a beautiful way. and some time sadness. I don't know if we are or I am used to music or old peoples needed it too but didn't have. but in the sense that animals who didn't have access to music and still music affect them in a good way. i think music is something we animals needed before and now. and it help us be better and live better.
I am 25 and i am a doctor....n when u was 16 ,my aim in life was to become a doctor and it(to become a doctor) was everything for me and i couldn't b more proud of myself....i cried listening to this song
I'm turning 27 in 2 months and I can feel this song on my bones. This was me a few years ago for sure but I promise that if you work at it, it gets better. Working on my Bachelor degree this year because I realized that I will be forever stuck if I don't do something about it. You got this you guys ❤️
Wow, I love this songs….. so relatable… as a person who loves to listen the underrated songs. I really hope one day, you’ll get recognised by everyone. ❤
I turn 25 in a month and it is so jarring and surreal....I still feel like the 17 year old in theatre rehearsals and who was so full of potential....and I look at where I am and it feels like I have disappointed myself for not living up to that potential...
I geuss this is for me. I turned 23 a month ago and it feels like I have to get my life together as quick as possible but life is telling me to be patient. It's just that looking at pole my age that have already figured out their lives and I haven't feels depressing but am trusting God with my life coz He knew all this would happen to me and I trust I'll have a beautiful 28. Thanks 😊 for the song
I first heard a portion of this song on ig reels and it's my first time hearing it completely. Such a master piece! Reminded me when I was in my early 20's having a quarter life crisis. Every part of the song sounded personal
This song is the anthem for the gifted kids that burnt out in 10th grade.
🙌😭
Facts my gift burned out this year
Exactly (in in 10th grade)

Lyrics
I'm terrified of rejection
But I get high off attention
I drink my coffee light 'cause I'm not fucking pretentious
Say that I read for fun
But haven't read in months
Say that I'm settling down
But I blacked out at brunch
I swear sixteen was yesterday
But now I'm closer to twenty-eight
I'm focusing all of my energy on just staying awake
Oh, I don't need to keep
Making it about me
Everybody feels like this at twenty-three
I know I'm not unique
But I'm a drama queen
I don't why I'm surprised
It's just a quarter life crisis
I'm constantly symptomatic
Mom says it's psychosomatic
That I'm the girl that cried headache
I'm melodramatic as hell
Where's all the talent that I had last decade
Another gifted kid that burned out in the tenth grade
Swear that feels like yesterday
I'm just a tired old cliché
I'm focusing all of my energy on just being okay
Oh, I don't need to keep
Making it about me
Everybody feels like this at twenty-three
I know I'm not unique
But I'm a drama queen
I don't why I'm surprised
It's just a quarter life crisis
Oh, oh-oh
It's just a quarter life crisis
And I just found out
That someone from my high school is dead
And another one is married with a kid
And the rest are all lying on the internet
I fall for it every time
It feels like that falling behind
I don't need to keep
Making it about me
Everybody feels like this at twenty-three
I know I'm not unique
But I'm a drama queen
Oh-oh
I don't need to keep
Making it about me
Everybody feels like this at twenty-three
I know I'm not unique
But I'm a drama queen
I don't why I'm surprised
It's just a quarter life
Everybody feels like this
It's a quarter life
I don't why I'm surprised
It's just a quarter life crisis

I just turned 23 in September and relate so much to this song. I hope life gets better 💕 I love this so much, thank you
I know I’m a bit old for this, definitely having my mid-life crisis at 31, but this song still resonates
This song made my grandma cry 😢tysm ❤️😭
time flies so quickly, and now I'm turning 28 and already have 2 children..and do you know that when you were 16 years old it felt like you didn't have a burden, just thinking about yourself... :))
It don’t matter what age you are, this song is relatable. By the way, whoever is on guitar is playing the hell out of it! 👏🔥🔥🔥
From the beginning of my 20s and until now, at 27, I was in a perpetual
quarter life crisis. 2023 marks one decade since I graduated high school and it can be terrifying. Thank you for posting this. So relatable.
Same here, I'm 26 and have been in a quarter life crisis since I turned 20 - I can't believe 16 was 10 years ago :'(
When she said “where’s all the talent that I had last decade.” I tried so hard to keep it together.
This is one of the most relatable songs I’ve ever heard in my entire life. I don’t know how great I feel about that, but the song is so beautiful!
I just found this song through a RUclips short and have now listened to it on repeat at least 2 dozen times while im cleaning my kitchen singing into my broom handle. So talented and such a good song!!!
listening to the song when you happen to be 23 is such a different feeling
This song is so good and the lyrics are way too relatable .
Love u
i'll be 25 in feb, will finish college next month and i'm single while all of my friends are dating someone, getting engaged or married... i've been just feeling like a loser, even if i have a good job and i'm ahead of my friends in other aspects. i've been crying my eyes out and every rejection i get just hits so bad, feels way worse that it actually is.
this song came out right when i needed it, thank you very very much
I don't know but can I share here? Yes I'm burnt out, it all started at 10th grade when my dad died. I feel like I'm okay now but not so so. I'm constantly, eagerly trying to bring back the old me that was so carefree and not really questioning everything I do. Just 3 days ago, I turned 23 and I thought I would be able to you know, not breakdown this month like I did the first 2 months but turned out I couldn't still get over it. My bestfriend died 8 months ago and my grandma a year and 5 months ago but knowing all my comfort people are not around, i don't know anymore.
I'll keep you in my prayers. Hope you have found some more moments of peace from this time ❤
I just heard this music in TikTok and here I am falling in love to every lyrics knowing that I am one of those people that has been falling behind everything; what ifs have been bumping towards my head and relate to how most people deal with these crisis in this quarter of our lives.
These were my exact thoughts when I was 23 , now I’m a week away from turning 28 :) everything really does get better ! ❤
I'm 28 and still waiting for it to get better
I felt this at 23. I’m 43 and my oldest is now 23 and feels this. It’s sounds cliché when people say “It gets better.” But it’s TRUE. And you may have to rediscover or reinvent your talents and gifts but it’s not too late for you. You may not be where you hoped you’d be but you are alive and you are not a tree. ❤ much love
One of my favorite songs!! ❤
God I'm about to be 22 years in a few months and am literally crying r.n, the future seems so bleak, having no money...feeling so broken and alone in my periods..even when I have a boyfriend... may God Bless all girls out there I feel y'all sis..much power to all of you❤
Turned 27 on 10th of May (2 months ago in a week), been feeling like this more and more since my 20th birthday, didn't think I'd ever find a song out there that would put my feelings into words so accurately, that I could relate to it so much, I'd feel like crying at the first listening, that is so much out of my genre. Great great piece. And now I'm in love with it and gonna loop it for the rest of summer at the very very least.
Beautiful song, perfect for my daughter almost 16. You have the sensitivity to express yourself in a song and the talent
She's so talented please more songs!!!❤
This hits different because I turn 28 next month! It’s so interesting because my life is so different from what I envisioned. But I’m also really happy I didn’t marry the guy I was dating at 23 and that I changed careers. Sometimes quarter life crises or life crises in general are good redirections with the right supports like therapy and good community. And I love my life now. There is hope for all of us yet! Great song ❤ relatable! 😊
I always get teary-eyed hearing this. It is such a true song.
sana 16 yrs nlng ako ulit😥 27 na ako ngayun bat ang bilis nman ng panahon😥
My God this hits so hard. Touches my soul.
"Another gifted kid that burned out in the 10th grade " - Don't call me out like thisss
I’m 23 now and it’s definitely been the most confusing year of my life…quarter life crisis worthy! I love these validating, relatable lyrics. I still feel like I’m going to feel this way and I’ll be singing and relating to the song 24 by Sundial, next year 😅
Im turning 28 this 30th of December. This song hits me so hard. Time flies so fast and life from then is much different from now. We might experience this quarter life crisis but then its our choice to find our happiness. I dont have kids, Im not married but I choose to be happy. 😊
ugh this song! I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels like this...
I was listening to Anti hero on spotify and this song came after. I'm so glad it did. This is my new favourite listen-to-every-day song.
this is so good. From the message to the harmonys, to the tune, to the lyrics. This is so good !! i love this so much
This is so relatable.. I'm 23 and im crying listening to this.. life is so hard
I love this song so much💜
I'm 23, and doing my master's program in a foreign country. I used to be top of the class, but now I'm just trying to survive every lecture. Two months ago, a professor whom I've known for four years from my uni passed away. And I've just learned that one of my classmate from uni got married to a girl that wasn't my other classmate whom he dated back then for 3 years. Things changed so fast, but I'm just over here feeling burned out every day.
i cried when i heared this song, im 28 and it really relates to what im going through right now.
A night found this song and put it on.
going in circle in my room.
on the roof.
until 4 to 5 in the morning.
I always thought i am different. and i will make things better or at least have a special life. I tried to do that since i was 15 or 14. anyway now I am 20s. in my senior year. i will be 21 when i go to colleges. if i get a good grades.
I always liked psychology and i am trying to study brain as Neuroscientist. I like and understand Physics too.
Anyway i just a burned kid. i don't know if i am gifted.
Life Will Break us all. we should just have to endure reality and try to get as much as possible.
just wanted to say art and song should help us endure reality. i should be more than music notes. in other side help us see the beauty in it. some time describing something in a beautiful way. and some time sadness.
I don't know if we are or I am used to music or old peoples needed it too but didn't have. but in the sense that animals who didn't have access to music and still music affect them in a good way. i think music is something we animals needed before and now. and it help us be better and live better.
I am 25 and i am a doctor....n when u was 16 ,my aim in life was to become a doctor and it(to become a doctor) was everything for me and i couldn't b more proud of myself....i cried listening to this song
Just turned 23 in August n I can see myself in this song. All the lyrics r so relatable:(
true, too relatable 🥲
I'm turning 27 in 2 months and I can feel this song on my bones. This was me a few years ago for sure but I promise that if you work at it, it gets better. Working on my Bachelor degree this year because I realized that I will be forever stuck if I don't do something about it. You got this you guys ❤️
Wow, I love this songs….. so relatable… as a person who loves to listen the underrated songs. I really hope one day, you’ll get recognised by everyone. ❤
The nostalgia this song gives me. 41 now. It makes me cry! Beautiful 😍
I turn 25 in a month and it is so jarring and surreal....I still feel like the 17 year old in theatre rehearsals and who was so full of potential....and I look at where I am and it feels like I have disappointed myself for not living up to that potential...
This song really touched me. Tears.
This song just outted all my deepest thoughts i keep hiden from the world
I was born in 1995. And the songs are great to hear. Thank you.

I geuss this is for me. I turned 23 a month ago and it feels like I have to get my life together as quick as possible but life is telling me to be patient. It's just that looking at pole my age that have already figured out their lives and I haven't feels depressing but am trusting God with my life coz He knew all this would happen to me and I trust I'll have a beautiful 28. Thanks 😊 for the song
I feel this song 😭
I first heard a portion of this song on ig reels and it's my first time hearing it completely. Such a master piece! Reminded me when I was in my early 20's having a quarter life crisis. Every part of the song sounded personal
So happy that I came here by chance. Great music, true lyrics. Relatable.
I turned 23 last week and this song just hits home ☹️

I cant stop singing this song at the top of my lungs in my car while I drive with the windows down
I didn't start to feel older until I hit 29. 23 I was still a kid! You're still so young at 23.
I remember seeing this on my recommendation when it only had 2K views, still listen to this daily!
I love this song 😍
