I'm so tired of watching everyone around me succeed while I'm still struggling to get my life together. It feels like I'm stuck in neutral while everyone else is speeding ahead.
I see my friends landing their dream jobs, getting married, having kids, and traveling the world. Meanwhile, I'm over here barely scraping by, living paycheck to paycheck, and wondering if I'll ever catch a break.
It's hard not to compare myself to others and feel like I'm just not good enough. Like, what am I doing wrong? Why can't I seem to get my act together?
I know I'm not alone in this feeling, but it's hard to shake off the sense of inadequacy and frustration. I just wish someone would tell me that it's okay to struggle, that it's okay to not have it all figured out.
Because the truth is, social media lies. Nobody posts about their struggles and failures. Nobody talks about the times they felt like giving up. All we see is the highlight reel, and it's just not realistic.
So, to anyone else out there who's struggling, just know that you're not alone. We may not have it all together, but we're in this together. And who knows, maybe someday we'll look back on these struggles and laugh.
