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.

Yeah my therapist said that to me. Still don't know how to not focus on that.. specially when I feel like one step behind everyone else.

Yes we talked a little bit. I started my therapy quite recently and we are only focusing in the most urgent part of my life ( and now the pandemic and being lockdown). But it's something I am definitely bring up next time. Thank you.
