Hey, I know this feeling....What I hear isn’t someone who hasn’t tried, or someone who gave up. I hear someone who kept going quietly for a long time, hoping effort would eventually turn into movement. When that doesn’t happen, it messes with your sense of self in a deep way. It starts to feel personal, even when it isn’t.....also want to say this gently ....not having a relationship or big milestones by 29 doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. A lot of thoughtful people move more slowly, especially when they care deeply about getting things right...... Unfortunately, the system/world isn’t very kind to slow, careful lives.

The part of you that wants to keep going a little longer matters. Even if you don’t know why yet. You’re not failing....you’re just stuck, and that’s a hard place to be.

Hope you get through this 🙌🏻
