Of life?
If life is not always in our control, how come I've seen people do things at certain stages of life compared to me and others like learning to drive at 17, graduating from university at 22, getting married to a long term partner in the late 20s, having first child in the early 30s.
None of those things I did at those ages. I did automatic driving lessons in my mid 20s and passed at 28, I never finished or graduated at university and I started when I was 22. And as I've said in previous threads I haven't done those other things either. I met someone at 24 I think I was, she was eager for a relationship with me but I wasn't so instead we remained friends.
I'm told time and again that everyone does things at different stages of life but I still feel I've seen a lot of people still doing these things at the same life stage. That's why it's hard to not compare myself or feel like I'm "falling behind".
