getting older

I’m turning 26, and recently I found myself spiralling a bit. I started asking myself: • “What have I done with my life?” • “I’m not in a relationship.” • “I’m not happy in my job.” • “I’m not earning what I want to earn.” • “And I’m still living at home with my mom.”

It feels like I’ve failed — like I’m trying to adapt to adulthood but haven’t quite figured it out yet. And honestly, it sucks.

I’m trying to remind myself that I’ll never be this young again, and maybe that’s something to hold onto.

If anyone has advice for someone turning 26 — especially if you’ve ever felt this way too — I’d genuinely love to hear it.
