| I need to get my act together
|

|
Facebook never fails to make me feel chronically inadequate compared to my peers. All the kids I went to high school with seem successful now. A lot of them are married with kids, or in professional careers.
I just need to remember that everyone goes through life at their own pace and that just because I'm not "caught up" with those my own age doesn't mean I'm stupid or lazy. Most of it is because of mental illness. I'm not trying to use that as an excuse, but that's just the fact of the matter. I believe mental illness slows a lot of people down.
I'll get where I need to be. I'm already taking steps in that direction. It just might take me a little longer.
When I was younger I thought I'd grow up to be a rocket scientist, I really did. I thought I could do anything I wanted. I'd still love to be a neurologist; that would probably be my dream job. But do you really think, that at almost 25, I'll go back to school to become a doctor, of all things? Probably not. I mean, it could definitely happen.... but it probably won't.

Well, never say never. Things do, as I tend to agree, happen in their own time. You may end up going on to medical school or physician assistants school, or something else. My older brother started off at 18 pursuing a degree in physical engineering. He learned he lacked the math so switched. Got a master's and worked for years in medical administration. He is almost 40 and will be going to PA school this fall. I've heard it been told that one can expect 3 different career paths in a lifetime.
Also: it may be that your peers have slapped up nothing more than a facade. Falls in to that Buyer Beware category I think..
Best wishes
