That must be an understandably difficult position to be in? How does this realization affect you moving forward? Hoping the best regardless~

Hola! 🌱

Thanks for your honesty. Being open about the changes you'd like to see and owning up to your part are the first parts of creating change. 🐌

I definitely agree what others have written. Your 20's are a hard decade with a lot of continued self-exploration so I can see why you've switched around from jobs and relationships. You'll be able to use your experience to enter your next decade with greater self-knowledge and confidence about what you want and don't want.

Have faith in yourself 🐒

@versatileSkies4623 traumas can stand in the way. Sorry to hear you are comparing yourself to others. That always ends badly for me.

Rather I try to express talents that are unique to me. It does not always lead to the so called worldly success but instead learn new talents in creativity or volunteer work. Working at 7cups as a listener or in a leadership role can help self esteem and make inner success possible.

I am 37 and I made many mistakes in my past but I can’t go back. When I was 24 I was living with a pimp and some girls. I was abusing narcotics and selling myself on the street. Do I hate myself? No. But it hurts me to see the news that so many kids are dying from an overdose. That could have been me. We learn from our mistakes right? Now you still have so much time! Don’t worry about the other people. Do what you want for your future.
