Starting Over at 28: Embracing My Fears and Finding My Own Way

Sometimes it feels like I’m living life on pause. At almost 29, I’m just now stepping into adulthood—still living at home, starting my first full-time job, and recently joining the Canadian reserves. I’m proud of how far I’ve come, but there’s always this fear that I’m too late, that I’ll never catch up. Even my victories feel muted, and dating feels more like a checklist than a journey. Does anyone else feel like time is slipping away before happiness can catch up? I’d love to hear your stories or thoughts below. 💬 #spiritualgrowth #latebloomer #selfacceptance #Spirituality
