Turning 29 tomorrow and questioning myself a bit.

I turn 29 tomorrow.

Instead of feeling excited, I’m feeling reflective and slightly uneasy. I’m not where I thought I’d be by this age - financially, professionally, or personally.

I know comparison doesn’t help, but it’s hard not to think about timelines.

My love life isn’t sorted either, still single and unmarried at 29, which sometimes makes me question myself more than I should.

For those who built real confidence in their late 20s, how did you do it?

How do you stop feeling “behind” and start feeling steady in your own path?

I don’t want temporary motivation. I want actual inner confidence.

Would appreciate practical advice.
