I feel I've gotten a late start on life. I spent my 20s without much direction, dating a lot but never settling down. I just wanted to have "fun." My career also took a meandering path.
Now I'm in grad school but I'm honestly still not sure I'm pursuing the right career. I'm still single. Basically, I don’t have anything figured out yet! I'm worried about graduating with a sizable debt, possibly without a career I decide to pursue, and without a serious relationship.
Meanwhile, my peers are mostly settled down, starting families and moving onwards and upwards in their careers. I am putting tremendous pressure on myself for my failure to achieve in these areas.
I guess I "want it all," the perfect job (whatever that is) and the perfect guy (where is he?!) et cetera. How can I define my goals, reinvent myself and find direction? Would much appreciate your inspiring stories, encouragment, or commiseration.
