Really feeling depressed lately as I'm nearing 30 and feel like it's "too late" to pursue and explore my interests and dreams. I don't feel 29!! I feel like so many years were taken away from me or just slipped quietly by while my life stood still like time stopped. Idk what I'm worried about , I'm not worried at all about looking older cause I don't and I know in my mind that 30 is young but I feel panicky and defeated. And it has to do with my age more than anything.
I wasn't raised in the "pursue your dreams" mindset. It was , "make a living and do what you gotta do to take care of yourself and who cares if you enjoy it, suck it up cupcake" mentality. So that's what I did.
I just wish I could be really good at something. And be somebody. I'm an extremely visual and artistic person but I never got a chance to explore it and now I'm feeling like "what's the point, it's too late, it's going to look pathetic, grow up cause your time has passed".
Does anybody else feel like that? Just kinda panicky and hopeless? Am I going through a quarter life crisis?
I had two kids really young so it's not like I can run off to "find myself" but I'd like to finally pursue what I'm good at and DO something with my life. .
