Time is running… but my life isn’t.
I don’t usually talk about my personal struggles, but I’ve been holding this inside for years and it’s getting heavy.
From 2022 to 2026, life has been hitting really hard. And the scariest part is how fast time is moving while I still feel stuck. Right now I feel lost in almost every area career, finances, direction, even relationships.
Some days it honestly feels like no one is interested in talking to me or being there for me. I keep checking my phone hoping someone reaches out… but most of the time it’s just silence. That loneliness hurts more than I can explain.
Financially, it’s exhausting. Even after working hard, I feel like I’m just surviving, not progressing. By the first week after salary hits, there’s barely anything left. I’m not spending on luxuries or buying things for myself I honestly haven’t bought anything new for myself since I started working. Most of what I earn goes into clearing personal loans and supporting my family. I’m doing it willingly, but some days it feels overwhelming and discouraging.
Since my teenage years, life hasn’t followed the path I imagined. Responsibilities pushed me into directions I never fully connected with. I tried to adapt and keep moving, but without proper guidance or support, I often feel unsure where I’m even heading.
My mind keeps running toward multiple goals wanting to build something meaningful yet nothing seems to settle. For years now I’ve been dealing with sleepless nights, overthinking, and the fear that time is passing while I’m standing still.
I’m not sharing this for sympathy. I just wanted to be honest. If anyone has ever felt stuck, financially stretched, unsupported, or unsure about their direction how did you find your way again? I would genuinely appreciate hearing your perspective.
Thanks for reading.

Ask yourself... What are you chasing and you are competing against whom... This benchmark of life set by 25, house by 28, marriage by 30 is set by society who is not coming to your rescue... So f those standards... Take your time, put priority to those objective which are most important and handle it first, .dont care about what someone else will say... Cheers....

I was in a similar situation for many years. First thing is to accept your current situation and be comfortable with it. Then you can start spending your energy to change it. Focus on one thing at a time, start with what's most important to you. It will take some time but small changes can make a difference. Take care

I also feel that post COVID life becomes 2-3x, literally tried now 😞
After you marry you will feel like you should have stayed single and alone.
