I have wrestled with this since I've been disabled. I'm so proud of my siblings and everything they've accomplished, the people they've grown into, etc., but it also rips into my soul because I haven't. I'm almost 32, and I'm still jobless, degree-less, whatever. Life just got in the way, and has continued to... and I've gotten in my own way more than once.
The universe doesn't have any sympathy for our tiny tragedies, it would seem.

@thepreposterouspanda If I get to the point of being able to help more, it's stories like yours that make me want to reach out as much as possible.

You could have written this for me also, except the soul searching part. I don’t do that anymore. I spent decades soul searching, and never got anywhere. Now, I just accept, and have a good old venting session now and again.
I wish you well on this arduous journey, called life. 🙏

My biggest lessons came from the worst traumas and pains. I don’t know how to fix the aftermath but I do my best to learn from them and to heal.
I am a much older soul than I was even three years ago.

@SW-User I feel you on that... The aftermath is what's hurting me the most.

@SW-User We're drifting out hoping for a shore to land on, circling in all this fog..

I realize I am my soul... now I'm just trying to understand it better. I've been blessed with things I didn't think I'd ever have, but the outcomes were not what I expected. Releasing expectations is a key I think. I understand what you mean by being sad, yet happy.
