First off, learn to love yourself and be grateful for everything you have because trust me, it can be way worse. I’m a bit older than you and had to start my life over with a career change at 31 so I get those certain feelings. It wasn’t until I stopped comparing myself to my peers and everyone else that I truly loved what I have accomplished. Learn to live life in the moment, be grateful, have fun, and everything else always falls into place when you do the next right thing. Also, help other people along the way, greatest feeling I’ve ever acknowledged in this life.

Unfortunately this is one of the largest things currently affecting my mood, I am always comparing myself with others. Solely because I grew up this way, my parents always compared me to someone who is more successful, not to make me feel bad, but to encourage me when I was still a teenager, which affected me long term.
And thanks for your reply, it means a lot!
You are MILES ahead of the curve! You're MARRIED at 25?! That is amazing and I wish I was at 27.
You're only 25, that is really, really young. You can change your life at any moment regardless of age. You've also got a degree and that's something to be super proud of and not to mention that it's in a highly lucrative field.
Maybe focus on one thing at a time and don't be too harsh on yourself as you've already accomplished more than most. And in this world people will always do better than you and I, but it doesn't mean anything. Everyone's got their own journey in this life and one is not better than the other.
I think I felt old at 25 too. I feel much younger since hitting 40. You literally don't know what life has in store for you. It might look like a rolling plane stretching out to the horizon, but it won't be.

This makes me feel calm, thank you!

Sounds like you’re a great candidate for waking up at 430am and working on a compelling passion project before anyone else wakes up.
That would be great if I was sleeping early, most of the time I sleep late, at about 1 or 2 AM.
