I certainly hope so. But man, it's a sinking feeling when so many others seem to have it figured out at an even younger age. And knowing that the clock is ticking to actually go get those figs.


Here's a tip: Other people don't have life all figured out yet.

They might think they do, but life never unfolds itself according to our plans.

Never compare to others. You don't know what they're going through, or what they're going to go through.

It took me until my mid 30s to realize just how impossible the idea of "having life figured out" really is.


Well put. Comparison is a thief of joy.


If the purpose of life is the journey to get there, not the destination, how could anyone younger than you have figured it out? Life is the one thing where people will never catch up and pass you.


Fair, but I feel the journey is stopped/halted by the crippling student loan debt that will just get worse if I try to change via more education (which is likely, as I want to change countries and it's the easiest way). Really, that might be the worst part of it all, the student loan burden.
