Is my 25 the beginning, middle, or end?

Hi! I’m 25 (f), and I feel like I’m in a limbo with life. This past year not only did I turn 25, but I also left my 5.5 year relationship. Last year at this time I had the rest of my life planned out from where I would live (I lived and still live at home), to who I would spend my life with, and the job that would support these decisions financially. Now, I feel like I know nothing. I don’t receive fulfillment from my job (I’m an engineer, and it’s quite boring), the state that I live in apparently hates the sun and I want to move to the beach, I prioritized my relationship over friendships (DON’T DO THAT EVER) so now I don’t have much of a support system, and I never found a hobby.

I feel like everything has changed, or just became more apparent, in a span of a few months, and now I’m just spinning around in limbo unsure of where to go next.

Is this a normal 25 year old quarter life crisis thing, or just me? Because I look around and everyone my age is getting married, having babies, buying homes, and I’m just here like: 🧍🏻‍♀️huh?
