‘the [relentless] mental load’

“The mod­ern Mil­len­ni­al, for the most part, views adult­hood as a se­ries of ac­tions, as op­posed to a state of be­ing … Adult­ing there­fore be­comes a verb.”

“We put up with com­pa­nies treat­ing us poor­ly be­cause we don’t see an­oth­er op­tion. We don’t quit. We in­ter­nal­ize that we’re not striv­ing hard enough. And we get a sec­ond gig … Anx­i­ety is med­icat­ed; burnout is treat­ed with ther­a­py that’s slow­ly be­come nor­mal­ized and yet still soft­ly stig­ma­tized … Our ca­pac­i­ty to burn out and keep work­ing is our great­est val­ue. [But] We are be­gin­ning to un­der­stand what ails us, and it’s not some­thing an oxy­gen fa­cial or a tread­mill desk can fix.”
—Anne He­len Pe­tersen
