For anyone who needs to hear it:
Your late teens/20s are a weird time in your life. Donât panic if you think somebody is more âaheadâ than you. The concept of being ahead is nonexistent anyway because lifeâs not a race and each person has different hurdles to overcome.
Itâs totally fine if youâre single. Itâs fine if youâre still finishing school. Itâs fine if you are still looking for a better job, or for any job at all. Itâs fine if you havenât had sex yet, or havenât gotten your driver license yet. Itâs fine if you havenât gotten your own place yet. Itâs fine if you are still figuring things out, saving money, putting the pieces together. Itâs fine.
Donât feel jealous of or lesser than people your age who have done these things. You donât know what obstacles they faced to get there and they donât know what youâve faced. Donât undermine the progess you have made.
Because, trust me, you have made progress. Even if it hasnât materialized yet in the traditional way.
You are still young. Like really young.
You got time.
