It feels like only yesterday that I remember being 19 or 20 and not knowing how to use or understand using money and now seeing some other of my peers get married or have kids makes it feel as though everything in their lives has been "accomplished" because they are giving birth to a new generation or got married. It makes me feel like millennials are like "long past our sell by date" generation. I'm in my 30s but I still feel mentally like I'm 25 or 30 and not "ready" for that stuff yet but it does me make down and feel like a "time waster" because I get the self imposed pressure to "hurry up" and "get on with it" before it's gets to a "point of no return" and I really struggle to ignore it and be myself and accept being me and not feel like I'm a "abnormality in society" because I haven't reached the same stage as my peers.

Life isn't a quiz or test. There is no right or wrong answer as to the "correct" way to live.

It's your time - you are 100% allowed to use or waste it however you see fit.

"Hurry up before it's too late!" is nothing more than a sales tactic.

Find your own path.

I feel compelled to point out... You're not dead yet.
