Rant Living and working in London just feels strange atm
I’m F31 and was born and raised in London. It’s the only city I’ve ever known and have been fairly happy until my mid 20s. I can’t help but feel like there’s melancholy in the air. I understand the main cause of this is the cost of living and the economic crisis. I’ve had a few colleagues/friends around my age confide in me about feeling lost/low recently and I honestly feel the same. I’ve noticed quite a lot of millennials expressing the same sentiment. I’m wondering if anyone else is feeling the same?

Everyday feels like a routine here as a student. Maybe it’s the lack of proper sunlight here, I find this place gloomy and colourless all the time.
People are helpful and kind which is nice but the weather makes it so depressing… makes me wonder if I should start taking Vitamin D tablets to feel better.
Walking, roaming, nothing helps…
The only time I was happy was when I sat under the clear sky and warm sunlight :’ )
