I'm in my mid 20s, and honestly, I'm thankful for the blessings I have right now, stable job, emergency funds, savings, and investments like stock market, mutual funds, crypto, and the like. On paper, it looks like I’m doing fine, pero minsan, I can't help but feel lonely and left behind.

Nakikita ko yung mga kabatchmate ko sa social media, nagpapakasal na, may mga anak, at may sarili nang pamilya. While I’m happy for them, I can’t shake off the feeling na parang ako na lang yung nasa ibang lane. Am I doing something wrong?

I know naman na everyone moves at their own pace, and I tell myself na okay lang na iba-iba tayo ng timeline, pero ang hirap rin i-ignore minsan. Parang andaming expectations ng society, or maybe it’s just me comparing myself.

Anyone else feel this way? How do you deal with it?
