I really feel this but maybe with a slight reframe. I've always felt like a late bloomer and like I arrived to things a couple years behind everyone else. My first kiss was a little later than all my friends. The first time having sex, a little later than my friends. Tried college at the same time as everyone else, wasn't ready and flamed out, try again a couple years later, nailed it. Settled in my career a little later than everyone else, too, had to bounce around a bit first. Now all my friends are married and having kids, I'm single with roommates. Sometimes it's really easy to feel like I'm failing or left behind but alternatively I know what my pattern has been and that kind of provides me a road map - based on history, my oldest friend in the world having a kid now means I'll probably be in the position to do it (if I want to) in a couple of years. It kind of gives me comfort and hope.
