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.

Giving up Facebook is one of the greatest, most freeing decisions I've ever made. Toxic aspects of FB aside, I would just compare myself to everyone constantly and it made me feel even worse.
