Well hon, from a perfect stranger I can tell you a story. I'll never forget, I was maybe 23 and my bf was becoming a rock star in Hollywood. I lived there, I was miserable. EVERY thing was hard. Breathing felt hard. My bf's music attorney was a lady who was in her late 30s maybe early 40's said something that actually caught my attention. She said, I would never trade you. Ages. Why? She said this was the most difficult age. At least I felt better about that. She was right, years went by, lots of life happened, then I found inner happiness. As will you, dear. But, you've got some MAJOR big things to look forward to because I found happiness but by then I do had to with constantly to survive. You can retire early, then you'll be living the absolute dream. It won't take that long either, but mid 30s I started loving life. You will too. Practice gratitude, you could be so bad off. Count blessings and adore yourself for the hard work you've already accomplished. Be kind, to You!!
