Update: I kept house hunting and finally found a room

That was in a livable house. With 4 other housemates.

I'm 31. Every day I wonder "will I be renting for the rest of my life?"
Edit: I feel grateful to God and very blessed that I am able to pay rent for now.

I bought new table mats. And new kitchen cloths. I wiped the counter clean. I placed a scent diffuser next to the flowers in the lounge.
I placed coasters on the centre table in the lounge.

The next day, things were all piled up and put aside. The sponge wipe I had kept next to the kitchen sink was folded away. My heart sank a little but I reminded myself that this isn't my house. I can't get attached to it. There's other people here that have different lifestyles. They're not obliged to use things they don't want to or keep the space how I want it.

I have this urge to be a homemaker. I wish I had a cute house where I would have my own family. I would decorate it. Keep fresh flowers. At 31, I feel all that is missing. Everyday I wonder "where are you going from here?"
I wonder if people from my generation have bought houses by my age?

Adulthood is filled with so much uncertainty.
It stresses me out all the time.
I don't feel I'm good enough at my job.
I dread the end of this year.
I don't know where I'm going after this job contract finishes.
I don't want to go back to my parents house.

I totally get your feeling. At 30 you simply crave having home that you want to create and organize by your own way, to know where to find things you need and to know that if you place something somewhere, you'll find it there later, to have that one place where you feel safe and where you come from the outside world tired and find peace.

I'm 32 and I can forget about a house. I can think about 1-2 room apartment at most.
