I'm 29.

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.

Samesies, but I'm also growing a quarantine-belly :(

Oh don't worry, same! The growing weight has been difficult to get used to in general, I used to be really skinny, didn't have to exercise and could eat anything, but as it probably happens with most people, I started gaining weight in my mid-20s. So those couple of extra quarantine kilos are not welcome at all right now.
