Post-Masterpiece Blues

The hollow, aimless feeling that settles in after finishing an extraordinary game, book, show, or any piece of media so good that nothing else can live up to it. You try moving on, you want to enjoy something new—but everything feels mid in comparison. (ChatGPT came up with this. Hits the mark)

“Ever since I finished Baldur’s Gate 3, I’ve tried starting five different games and bounced off all of them. I’ve got a serious case of Post-Masterpiece Blues.”

post-graduation blues

Commonly known as post-grad depression, this feeling consists of sadness, anxiety, hopelessness, or emptiness experienced by recent graduates due to the significant life changes and pressures of entering adulthood and the workforce.

After the excitement of graduation wore off, I found myself hit hard by post-graduation blues, feeling lost and anxious about what to do next in life.
