But first, a little pep talk:

While others seem to be ticking off life milestones, you might find yourself standing amidst the unknown, applauding their achievements without a clear direction of your own. Society’s standards often play tricks on us, making us feel behind and disoriented. However, here’s a secret 🤫: you’re not ahead or behind anyone.
