Dear Auntie,
I’m 28 years old and, if I’m being honest, I feel completely stuck. Everywhere I look, people my age are doing “big things” — building careers, buying homes, getting married or, at least, appearing to have their lives together. And then there’s me: no clear career path, no sense of success and this heavy feeling that I’ve fallen behind.

I keep comparing myself to others, which only makes me more hopeless. At this point, I don’t even know what direction to choose, let alone how to start moving. Am I doomed to stay lost or is there actually hope for someone like me to turn things around this late in the game?
Directionless

Dear Directionless,
Let’s get one thing out of the way… You are not ‘late to the game’, you are just living at your own pace and, despite what social media reels and LinkedIn updates are........
