Pervasive uncertainty.

I've noticed that the past few weeks, a sense of pervasive uncertainty has been hitting people my age.

Like, just no-one knows what to expect even in the short- to medium-term future, and it's overwhelming their decision making.

Like, I was talking by Twitter direct message with my one friend who met her husband as a college radio DJ in the South, and she says that they're planning to start a family, but they really just don't know now, and her friends who already have kids are kind of like, "What were we thinking."

It's really true, there's such uncertainty that you have no sense of what the economy or life will be like just around the corner, so there's no way in heck that you can really make any decently long-term plans about it.
