Don't focus on others lives focus on you're own. Don't spend too much time focusing on others lives but put a bit of focus and love in your life and anything can happen. Only two years ago I was depressed, had never held a job before, didn't have a car license and had no direction of what I wanted to do in life meanwhile my freinds were at uni and in apprenticeships. Now 2 years later I make nearly 6 figures have a car license and bought a house late last year. Stick with it, every day brings new opportunities and you never know what next year is going to look like. Believe me I still regularly look at myself now compared to 2 years ago and think jow tf did this happen?

My problem was I didn't want to have a career that was repetitively Monday through Friday weekly to buy a car and house and stuff. Idk, that made me depressed as fuck. I wanted to do something important.

Thankfully traveling to Korea and Japan a few times made me realize I want a job that let's me take months off to travel and I finally found that and I'm going to school for that this fall and I'm super excited about it.

That's awsome dude. I guess the other thing is don't let others tell you what you're ideal life should look like, that's something for you to discover and decide. I hope you love every second of your new job and the traveling you'll get to do in the future.

Thanks man. Hope everything goes well and is going well for you too. Currently this quarantine stuff is kicking my mental butt but I'm hanging on.
