The age of great liberation that my generation finds itself living in comes with many, many perks.

People can work from where they like, as long as there's decent wi-fi and online banking. It's never been easier to travel. Relationships of all kinds are finally being welcomed and the sharing economy is booming. This youth, of which I am a member, can be defined by its commitment to impermanence.

We rent our properties, our music and our cars. As and when we need them.

But with this great surge of freedom also comes a reticence to commit and almost a pathological hatred of decisiveness.
