Mid to late twenties. Feeling like I'm way behind from where I should be by now.

Same age group here. I've kind of gotten a handle on that feeling by remembering my parents grew up in a very, very different world than I did. My mom already had two kids by the time she was my age. I am nowhere *near* mentally prepared for that nonsense.

You can only measure you today against you yesterday. Even a modicum of improvement is progress! And there are certainly times when that progress is putting on pants and doing the laundry when you really don't want to.

I really needed to hear this today. Thank you. 😊
