Same pinch....I am running in my 35. I feel I have lost time to focus on job and now I am running late in my personal goals. But you know what I have learnt recently is that it's never too late to start!! Do whatever you want to do to make yourself feel better

This is not at all late. We feel like we wasted life till 25-30. But, it's totally fine. Many amazing person have started their journey after 35, 40 & more and became successful. It's totally fine as long as you realise and you have a future ahead. Best of luck ❤️

Sailing in the same boat

No matter how old you are, you will feel the same every year after 30. Better start now whatever you want to do. I am 31 and feel like i didn't do anything when i was 30. Lol.

I get the same feeling every year. Identify what you feel like you missed in your 20s and identify ways you can work towards those things this year. And don't be too hard on yourself. Happy birthday!

You're older and wiser! I'd say it helps to take some "me time", no matter what that means to you. Could help to make better habits outside of work to do things that cater to who you are as a person, outside of work. Explore your interest more

You didn't waste 10 years out of 30 very bad ..you can have so many years to waste buddy common 🥂🥂 cheers

Age is just a construct that people use to measure their worth against one another. You are exactly where you need to be and you are in control of where you go next.

I can relate. It almost certainly wasn't wasted. I'd sit down, take stock of your current state compared where you want to be, and make tangible goals to help move you forward.
