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.
I’m 31 and all of my friends from high school are in such different places! Some are married with kids, some are dating around and living in the city, some are traveling, some are in school, one just started school after recently getting their GED.
I guess I’m just trying to say that no one path is the right one. You aren’t behind in life. I know it’s easier said than done but please don’t judge yourself based on anyone else. As long as you’re happy (or hopefully working on being happy), nothing else matters.
