    As an older person I can say this: one day you will look back at 26, and even 36, and think omg I was so young back then, I felt the pressure of running out of time but actually I had so much. There are no rules about when you need to achieve things.

    Just here to chime in and say that I felt totally lost at 26. I felt like an overgrown child in many ways, I was still holding onto childhood trauma, had never had a boyfriend and mostly just drowned myself in work. I turned 27 and started to think things really needed to change. I then actually started to do something about it at 29. I’m now 32, planning my wedding, got a managerial position at work and couldn’t fathom being here 5 years ago but it shows how much can really change in just these next few years. If I could go back, I would tell myself to just enjoy the journey and the alone time for what it is - everything will be just fine and will turn out the way it’s supposed to.

      Pictures of how you or others think should be or ought to be as well as expectations aren't reality. Take your time. A tree grows in the timing it's meant to. Worrying doesn't add a day to your life as Christ said. The more you worry, ironically the less likely you'll probably find your answers because your mind will be too scrambled to think straight. You need to do the opposite and be still. Stop trying so hard to figure it all out, you'll just spoil the present moment and rob yourself of peace.

    Age 24 to 26 i spent alone. That time was fundamental to my personal growth. I made that decision actively after my parents were killed by a drunk driver and my boyfriend got drunk to cope with my sadness. So he had to go immediately obviously. I had a small group of friends who basically got board with my grief and told me to get over it after about a month and didn't reply to my message that the court dates started for the guy who killed them. So they got ditched too.
    I got a new job, i took on hobbies, i got to know myself and my parents by going through their house.

I decided as soon as I was able, I'd seek consistent peace for myself- no marriage, no kids. Nothing against those things, btw- I just knew they weren't for me. I'm 37 now and I live my life a lot like Julie. I work two jobs and live in an apartment, but I am SO happy I set up my life this way. I work, come home to a clean place, and experience the peace and quiet I've been dreaming up all my life. When all my responsibilities are done, I can curl up with a nice meal and a good book or show. It's blissful. Everyone has their own version of happiness, and that just happens to be mine.

    At the age of 26, I was settled in my own space with a dog, career, & enjoying a peaceful existence. During those moments of solitude, I embraced the journey with faith even when it felt lonely at times. Now at 32, a married mom to two beautiful children, I often find myself nostalgically revisiting those solitary times, cherishing them as invaluable chapters of my life. They helped develop a newfound perspective on life's treasures. I enjoyed watching you eat in peace, content and soaking it all up! Savor every moment and keep producing amazing videos!

    The fun thing about this is I have felt much worse when I still had friends and a relationship. I never struggled more with my mental health.

However, she was a party girl at the time and would have gotten pregnant again anyway.
      Its taken me 15 years too long than I originally planned (I was hoping for her to enjoy life a bit more in her late 40s), but I managed to build my stocks back up after 10 years of grinding my $3M worth of screw ups. I'm still a lonely recluse (and I prefer it that way, its the reason why I was able to cheat things a bit), but my mom will get to enjoy her remaining years as a result of me being an extremely resourceful loner and putting up with 15 years of pain and stress,

    Congrats. It's awesome not having to deal with the stress of relationships. Just make sure you don't force yourself into relationships just for the sake of it, even though you don't particularly vibe with that person. Just surround yourself with people who accept you for you, even if it's just one person or yourself or your dog. That's how to stay happy IMO.

    But around that same time, I learned to enjoy something “for ten minutes” before passing out from exhaustion. Give yourself that ten minutes each evening, when you’re working hard on some job, toiling to make those dollars.
    Read a book or watch a show for ten minutes each day, and enjoy that. When you look back on years of that, you’ll at least know you gave some of your time to *yourself.* 💜

    Watching what you eat reminds me of myself a year ago. I locked myself up in my house ( I live in Australia alone as a foreign student) as I was so depressed and played games for the whole day. I also ordered Mc Donalds every single day and my order was 3 big mac, 1 chicken burger, 4 large fries, 4 cokes ( I ate it all but the cokes). I was feeling so bad that I ate all of those and just sit in my room to play games that I even disgust myself. One day I thought I need to make the move, otherwise nobody is going to do it for me. I started by cleaning up my room, then my house. Until now, I've lost 10kg, addicted to the gym, walk 12k steps a day, swim for 30minutes at least and take care of myself more. So to everyone, if you feel the same as me a year ago, untill you feel you are doing everything wrong, just start doing small things like me, you will see yourself become a better version day by day. I'm 22 btw.
