It's different.
It's way better in some ways - especially if you find a good career in a field you're passionate about.
But some of the responsibilities of adulthood are a burden that is hard to appreciate until you're there. And the perspective gained by life experience is also very different, for better or worse.
For instance, I went through a breakup last year at 39 with someone I was fully expecting to marry. It was my first major relationship failure in decades, and as I was being dumped I expected it to crush me.
What ended up hurting the most was that it didn't hurt that much. I didn't spiral into depression or fall apart at work. I wasn't happy about it, but I was fine. A younger me would have been overwhelmed by the emotional toll, but the adult me was able to keep moving forward without breaking stride.
And in a way that's what hurts. The passion of youth has been tempered by a lifetime of experience that puts everything into perspective.
Ugh, as you get older, everything just starts to dull. Things are less important, less passionate, and more "meh" in general. And not in a depressed way, but more specifically that I've been there, done that for most emotions I could have.
I will say that now that I have an infant daughter, I'm finding those passionate emotions again and I'm excited as she's excited and sad when she's sad. That is the great part about parenting.
Ok, yes, I felt that.
21, and I am feeling this already.
