Lack of Publishing as an MSc Student

Hi everyone, sorry in advance as I know this is a topic that must come up A LOT! I am currently finishing up my Master's and have an enormous amount of guilt that I have not published anything. No research papers, no review papers, no literature reviews. Everyone in my lab has and continues to publish and I just feel awful. Even our summer student will likely have a manuscript by the end of the summer. I know with research and writing that it's a process (unfortunately my project is not working) but I still feel incredibly guilty that I really have nothing not show for these two years. I was working on a review paper which kind of got pushed to the side by my supervisor and as I am currently finishing up my thesis, I'm not sure if I should pick that back up. I just feel like the biggest failure in our lab and don't even know what to say when people talk about the journals they are submitting to. Any suggestions for how to handle this? I am hoping to get into industry, but am I screwed if I decide to do a PhD? Should I return to that review paper?
