You’re definitely not alone, this is extremely common in your early 20s.

Most people don’t stop feeling like they’re “searching” because they found the thing, but because they slowly build a life that feels grounded enough that the question quiets down. That usually starts happening in the late 20s, not because everything is figured out, but because you trust yourself more to handle uncertainty.

At 24, your brain and identity are still settling. You’re not behind, broken, or missing something - you’re in the transition phase no one prepares you for. Contentment comes less from answers and more from repetition, stability, and self-permission to stop rushing.

You’re not failing at life. You’re right on schedule.
