How do you deal with the fear of starting over and time?
>turning 25 this year
>just graduated but recent laws trump effected my industry so I have to move to an adjacent one that's doing better
>my girlfriend left me.
>Realized I have to move to the east/West Coast where tech jobs thrive and start over if I want to get my career off the ground
>Broke
Feels like I got a lot on my plate. Having to learn a new field, saving up cash to leave, yearning for love, leaving everything I know. Feel like I don't have much time.

Am I? I'm entering that last quarter of your 20s. Seems like most people have carved themselves out a start already and I'm just getting there. Plus making new friends/girlfriends in a place where you know no one. It's scary

So? You happen to just be getting there
If they reached their points by age 25 and it takes you to age 27, what difference is that? Two year? <10% of your lifetime so far, and far less in the grand scheme of things?

Yea ig you're right other people's progress don't really effect mine. Ig what's really bugging me is the starting over new aspect. I've been living with my mom the entire time I was in college and never had to go far if I wanted to socialize since I was in school.

Time moves on regardless of your choices. Just gotta keep grinding. You'll feel better soon.

24 year olds will convince themselves that they're old now, and boomers - old 24 year old boomers.

Time will pass anyway.
Why bother being a bitch about it?
