I was lost at 24

A journey of self discovery and growth

At that time

I needed someone to hear me out and tell me that the decision i was about to take was right.

And i still remember I didn’t find any true friend or colleague to figure out what’s actually bothering me. Alas! That was the worst feeling ever.

Your early twenties are supposed to be the best years of your life, right? The freedom, the adventure, the limitless possibilities. But what happens when you find yourself feeling lost, uncertain, and disconnected from your dreams at 24?

• Tale of a young girl doubting her self worth

For me, 24 was a year of questioning everything I thought I knew. The path I had envisioned for myself didn’t fit anymore, and I was left wondering if I was falling behind.

I thought I had it all figured out. College degree, check. Dream job, check. But beneath the surface, I was struggling. I felt unfulfilled, restless, and unsure of my direction. I was lost.

I was struggling with identity. Who was I outside of my job? What did I actually want from life? These questions haunted me. I had spent so much time trying to live up to expectations – both my own and those imposed by others – that I had lost sight of what truly mattered to me.
