The trend is driven by increased instability in young adulthood in recent years. according to University of Kansas professor Jeffrey Hall.
"There's a sense that people need to spend longer and longer periods of time getting stability,"

Young adults say they’re lonely, but also more connected than ever. How is that possible?
Many young adults experience social connection and disconnection simultaneously, according to new research led by University of Kansas professor Jeffrey Hall. He says higher instability in young adulthood is causing the ambivalence.

If only you were lucky enough to live in a town that has a store that sells shoes. They used to be called shoe stores — you could try them on, buy a pair you liked, and walked out with them! And they matched, too.
I needed dress shoes for nutcracker and my old ones were falling apart, so I ordered new ones, but they haven’t come yet, so I stopped by goodwill to pick up a cheap pair. Got to the theater and once I looked closely enough I realized they are actually two different shoes, lol.
