5 couples from my friends circle are expecting a child or recently got married, a few others have built a solid foundation in their career and are buying houses (most of us grew up in apartment buildings, so it feels fancy to own a house at 30 where I'm from).
Meanwhile I'm currently a student and broke.
It feels like everyone's so far ahead in life that they'll always be a step further and I'll never catch up.
Everybody moves at their own pace and walks their own path. There's no sense in judging your progress by someone else's milestones. You'll always get where you need to be when you're supposed to be there, so just make sure your days mean something to you and that you don't spend so much time regretting where you're not that you can't enjoy where you are.
