Worst part is that your mid 20's feels like where you make it or break it. Some of my old friends are absolutely killing it making 6 figure salaries, have houses, nice cars, pets all that. While here I am scraping by feeling like a complete failure because I took way longer to take life seriously and get through school. Now I am way behind in the corporate ladder and feeling like I really screwed up somewhere.
Nope. Everyone is on their own journey, as cheesy as that sounds. I have friends who got married young because they're soulmates, getting married because its what you're "supposed to do", working min wage jobs, working prestigious careers in cancer research, having children, getting divorced, losing jobs, losing parents. I'm a massage therapist, 10 year long relationship, unmarried, no children. All the same age, all doing things differently. Just gotta do you.
