Just because we do not hit certain milestones at certain ages or took a different path in life does not mean we should not feel accomplished. Sometimes we need extra time because we feel like we are not ready. We should not be competing with others because someone completed a certain milestone quicker than we did. Success, accomplishments, and achieving milestones are not defined by how fast we complete them, it is defined by the effort we put into achieving our goals.
From personal experience, I took a lot longer to meet certain milestones, but I am still here. I am still thriving. I may have not completed a traditional master's program but either way I still obtained my master's degree. We need to transition from that societal norm and accept that everyone does things differently and goes at their own pace.
Yes thank you for reading! Milestones are milestones no matter the age, we should not feel bad for not hitting them on the general clock. Everyone's life story is different, its absurd to think that we'd all be doing the same for our lives simultaneously!
