Anyone feel that you are just coasting through life?

Ask Twenties

I've been overthinking about this so much.

I don't have a single thing in my life which I can say that I've intentionally put efforts in. I'm 25 and it feels like I've lived my whole life on autopilot, just coasting through it. Like a sail boat, going wherever the wind takes it.

I was always great at academics, got a decent college, got a job at my first interview in college placements. Spent next 6 months gaming while my friends tried so hard to get placed.

It's been 2 years at my job now. Bought a bike, expensive gaming laptop, dream phone. I don't know if those are achievements.

But at the end it just feels like anyone would have achieved all that.

And still life feels like a conveyor belt where you reach a socially constructed milestone and then move for the next one.

Anyone else feels like it? Or I'm just making a fool of myself 😭 😭
