I have always struggled with imagining and planning for the future. I also struggled with all future-related decisions, like academic ones about picking a stream, field of interest, discipline, etc., or personal ones like what I want to do in the long run, where I want to live, etc. These doubts caused me a lot of distress and, eventually, depression and anxiety. I always chalked this up to me being a very cautious and anxious person by nature. I would and still can worry about everything. But in the past few years, I have noticed that such concerns also bother many, if not all, of my peers. It seemed odd how an entire generation of students is struggling to find these answers when their parents and older relatives never found this to be a significant problem and failed to relate to it. Most people learn to overcome this and lead better lives. But some fail to. And there has been an alarming rise in the number of people suffering from such lifestyle-related mental stress and consequential illnesses. The initial idea I started this project with was a very cynical take on our society’s exploitative, consumeristic ways and how that weighs down on the human mind. This idea, I believe, came from a place of great anger and frustration. But as I started this project and dug more deeply into this problem, I realised that there is a lot of anger and frustration already.
