    Judge Judy said it best, if you don't make it in your 20s, you can make it in your 30s. If you don't make it in your 30s, you can make it in your 40s and so on. Your life is not just your 20s. I have felt this unfulfilled and underachieved feeling. I think it is a very human feeling and it is necessary for growth. I just try and make decisions from where I am currently and not based on some distant expectation of what I should be.

COVID happened and I was living in my car while maintaining a job flipping burgers because I had no prospects. Eventually, I ended up homeless and addicted to drugs and alcohol.
    Today, I am happy to say that I am close to 4 years sober. I got my masters degree. I make 6 figures. I married my beautiful wife and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Please just know you're not alone and we can overcome this. 27 is still very young, and you have lots of time to find your path. I've been looking into it. There's training, volunteer work, apprenticeships.. even finding one job can lead to another. I went to community college, and there were people from 18 all the way to their 50s in my class. Also I find that my church community is really helpful when I'm feeling down. Please don't give up. There is always a way, and we're definitely not the only ones feeling this way. I think the saying "where there's a will, there's a way" applies here. We just need to be hopeful and creative and willing to give any opportunity a try. We'll get there. Lots of love and best of luck.

    I’m 38 and not in a relationship or have kids. I still live with my parents, whom I take care of and look after since they’re very old. I also watch my nephew and take care of him as well due to my older sister being a single mom and financially burdened with 3 kids on her own. I’m pretty content with my life. I’m surrounded by family so I don’t feel lonely and I’m an introvert anyway so I enjoy my alone time reading or playing video games or just go shopping on my own. I love my job, it’s chill and relaxing, also pays good. I bought my own car and have no debt. My next goal is to buy a house so my entire family can all live together. To me, this is ”success”. You define your own success when you feel contentment.

    Thankyou for this. I realised I spent the majority of my early 20s unhappy, stuck in a field I thought I couldn't leave. As a fresh grad who had survived 5 years of Architecture school, I felt I had no choice but to continue down the path I had paved for myself, even though I was clearly miserable. I had already mentally and physically destroyed my health, neglected my family and friends, and found myself slowly losing passion for Architecture when my career hadn't even began. I ignored the warning signs and persevered, working for 4 years in 2 different Architecture firms and came out even more sad and helpless than before. Projects were demanding and stressful, hours were insanely long, pay wasn't great and Archi work politics was toxic. I didn't even like Architecture, yet it became my entire identity. I had no energy, no passion to do anything, not even hobbies outside of work. No love interest. No house. What was I doing to myself?! I knew I couldn't live like this for the rest of my life.
    When I turned 26, all my friends around me were already married, having children, etc. whilst I was still living with my parents, severely depressed and jaded. I cried myself to sleep almost every night and found myself developing su1c1dal thoughts. I thought of my parents and loved ones around me and causing them pain scared me so much. I couldn't believe I had stooped this low. I started going down a rabbit hole of self help books, podcasts and youtube videos and this one was one of the few that hit me differently. I realised how naive I've been. Life is precious, we only have one chance at it and every moment is one we should cherish.
    Fast forward a few months and now I have officially resigned from Architecture and will be making a career switch into nursing early next year, as I had always wanted to become a nurse if it wasn't for Architecture. The me at 21 would have thought that going back to university at 27 and studying a completely different field was laughable and impossible. But the me now is finally taking care of myself for the first time in years. Architecture was just a chapter of my life, no longer an "identity". I am not chained to it, or any societal norms and expectations to be certain "somebody" by a certain age. Now I am happier and healthier, and finally enjoying the simple pleasures in life. And that is all that truly matters.

    I was never bothered because I never really cared about achievements. I just wanted a job to pay for my apartment and good food. And it never changed. I am working in system administration, which in Germany pays ok but nothing crazy. Somehow I don't have any ambition to change that. I'm now 36. I'm curious if this will change. But the good thing about this, I'm happy because I don't follow targets so I don't have any fails in not achieving them. And because I don't care much about achieving something, I cannot be unhappy not achieving something. At least it works for me
    A good tip is, never look at other people. Don't care about what others do or have done. Everyone is different. Some are only happy earning 100k or more while others just want as much time with themselves or with their dogs, cat or family. Only change, if you really feel unhappy. Never change because you think you must change because others did

    My life's pretty shitty too. I'll be 28 in a month reaching close to my 30s. I still don't have a bachelors degree, I am unemployed, I live in a ruined house full of mold, roofs dripping from humidity, rat and cockroach infestations, broken cooking appliances, only enough money for 1 meal a day, never had a relationship, I have an incurable UTI. I compare myself to my friends that made it in life and I feel disheartened. The future still looks bleak. I don't know why I still am hoping for some miracle instead of considering suicide. But hey, at least that's a good thing

I remember sitting there at dinner with them feeling so disconnected like we had nothing in common anymore and so behind in life. I put on a poker face then after dinner all these emotions suddenly came to the surface and I had a full anxious meltdown. The next day I woke up reminding myself we are all on our own paths and everything is in divine timing. Also we all made choices with only what we knew at the time.

Only now do I discover that my passions lie with two creative projects that I started in 2023 and 2024 and my work just pays for my bills and keeping a roof over my head.
    You grow as you experience life and move across countries. You grow as you meet new people and gain new perspectives. You are not meant to figure everything out by 30, and if anyone is telling you else, they are lying.

Most of us have to do the job as a mean to get paid and find enjoyment elsewhere like side jobs, side projects, hobbies, etc.

I will become 34 in a few months and I am just recovering from the self-paralysis and darkness of the last decade. I was not truly awake and I wished I have awaken sooner from this stupor. Now, I am rushing to get a lot of things finished. I did finish my master's but I never truly enjoyed it nor I benefited from it, worked temporarily as a teacher but quit. I could have done more. I am just starting to read a lot of my books in my library that I never got to read 10 to 12 years ago. I do not know how I left them untouched, so is my life. It is always I could have done this at that time and never realized I wasted time until now. My ADHD also affected me.

      So relatable. I'm 36 and one huge thing that changed my life in my 30s was to finally start being honest with myself. Asking myself what I honestly want, who i honestly am, what are my honest flaws and what are my honest strengths, etc. Doing this sometimes reveals how much we play ourselves. We "want" things simply because we think we should want them. We live in places because it's what we're used to but it's not where we truly want to be. We judge ourselves so much harder than we would judge a loved-one going through the same thing. Just my two cents.

    Thanks for this video. I'll be entering my 30's this year and most of my 20's was spent figuring out what was right for me. A lot of people said I've been wasting time and i've been indecisive, but to me - it was just figuring out what's right for me. As long as I learned something from the experience, it wasn't time wasted. I moved on to the next thing and learned a little more about what kind of work I'm drawn to.
    Some people have things figured out by the time they graduate high school or College. They're the lucky ones. In reality, you don't have to have everything figured out by 20, 30, 40, 50, or even 60. For example, my father became a database administrator at the age of 40. My uncle became a network engineer at the age of 60! I'm still figuring things out, but I'm really close. :)
