I’m in my early 30s, no partner, no house, and I feel like I’m constantly behind. I know timelines are supposed to be flexible, but it’s hard not to compare. Anyone else feel like they’re doing life out of order? What’s helped you stop spiraling when those thoughts hit?

I’ve come to believe that we can’t truly compare ourselves to others, because everyone has their own unique journey and timing. I feel that way sometimes too, but I remind myself: I’m not behind I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. Nothing happens by accident. The universe gives us what we’re ready for, exactly when we’re ready to receive it.

Same here, and it’s so isolating sometimes. One thing that’s helped is surrounding myself with people who are building their lives differently too. Seeing others carve out their own timelines makes it feel less like I’m doing something wrong and more like I’m just doing it my way.

Everyone has their own timeline brother
What matters is are you travelling in the direction you wish for?

Life is a journey
Good or bad
Accept it


See no one care about us
Be strong 💪

Hi - I am a career pivot from higher education into tech and have final round interviews for a DEI Coordinator role (which I'm super excited for).

Does anyone have any resources to help me prepare for this? Anything is greatly appreciated!
