You know when your life has been defined by fixing or attaining something? Getting a steady job, fixing a toxic relationship, healing your health, surviving a bad situation, getting the minimum normal amount of stability and security in some way.
Not a dream job. No dazzling success from an over-achiever. Just graduating out of survival mode into normal mode and realizing . . . what does life mean if I'm not struggling to improve something?
Bonus points if the main character is not in their twenties
