Sigh. I have this recurring, nagging feeling that I am failing my twenties. I feel this way when I see pics of what people are doing on facebook, or spend time in a space that is supposedly young and hip and everything I am supposed to want to be. I am supposed to have my own apartment, or one with friends, in a city somewhere. I am supposed to be

Honey you aren't failing your 20's. You are exhausted and overtired, grieving and walking, sleeping working and worrying.

While I feel like I missed out on a lot of my 20's I partied like a rockstar in my teens and early twenties, so I look on those years fondly, gasp, gasp, grabs my cane at 34.

Cut yourself some slack. Caring for others like you are seriously amps up depression, self doubt, and even if you hate it, normal resentment.

You are a good egg babe. keep your chin up, and fuck those skinny bitches and their peg leg pants. Fuck em in da ear.

I don't think you have much to worry about, really. I have always found your entries really interesting, and wished I lived a life as vibrant or thoughtful as yours. There must be something to the experiences you have because they ave you writing about them in a way that keeps my attention. The lifestyle you describe in this entry is no more valid than yours. It's just different.

I have always had performance anxiety, and life has always seemed like a stage, and I have always compared myself to my age-peers. It's a really unpleasant way to live your life. I don't think you can fail at life. Maybe it's because I don't believe in te pearly gates or scales of cosmic judgement.

If you are unhappy with what you're doing, and it has nothing to do with societal conventions, and what you THINK you should be doing, then by all means, change. If it has to do with what YOU want, change. Anything else seems like selling yourself short.
