I’m in my 33rd year as an adult (51), and many days (including today!) also feel like I’m still going around this cycle. That said, I do wonder how much “failure” is a modern creation. And how much comes back to the (imagined or real) possibility of “escape.”
I often wonder the exact same (!) on both accounts as you said, regarding "failure" and "escape." No one would say a perennial that only blooms in spring/summer has "failed" in fall/winter, but here we are.
