For those questioning the path when everything looks right on paper.
You did everything right. Followed the prescribed steps. Chose the practical degree, secured the impressive job, started building the life that should bring fulfillment.
Yet here you are, scrolling at 1 AM, questioning everything.
The expectation was that clarity would arrive with adulthood. That purpose would reveal itself once you checked the right boxes. Instead, you’ve found only more sophisticated versions of the same questions.
Your timeline isn’t broken. This disorientation isn’t failure—it’s the necessary dismantling that precedes authentic becoming.
The twenties aren’t meant to be a time of arrival but of honest exploration. The pressure to have it all figured out isn’t wisdom—it’s cultural impatience that dishonors the natural unfolding of purpose.
Your life isn’t a problem to solve by 30. It’s a calling to discover over a lifetime.
The uncertainty you feel isn’t evidence of being lost. It’s the discomfort of finding your own way instead of following paths that led others to lives that wouldn’t fit you anyway.
Trust this unraveling. It’s making space for authentic weaving.
