...See more Im 24, still a university student, and feeling lost. Many of my peers have graduated, started careers, or achieved milestones like financial independence and travel. Despite understanding that everyone has their own path, I feel like a failure for not meeting these timelines. As someone who grew up as an achiever, college has been a struggle really, given that my program is hard to begin with. im just barely surviving academically. I envy my friends’ successes, not out of malice, but because I wish I were in their position. Dont get me wrong, I dont wish ill for others. Its just that, I feel little knowing that i have the same age as them. As an only child, I feel the weight of my parents’ expectations. Sometimes I punish myself, like through self-starvation, blaming myself for not striving hard enough before. I know my mind is becoming unhealthy and Im not happy with it. I would cry to sleep because I don't have someone to share my feelings with. My friends also have different battles with different mindsets and I'm not really comfortable with sharing them. That's why I only keep this to myself, always. this is me releasing a fuse because it's 3am and I can't sleep
