I've found that over the years I've let a lot of things fall away, including people, possessions, what I felt were needs but probably were just desires.
You may get to a certain point in life and think: well, here I am, this isn't where I thought I'd be when I was 16, but I'm surprisingly content with where I am and what I've got.
How I got to this point is a long story.
We all have a history, a life story.
Education, relationships, jobs, home - all milestones (or in some cases stones to fall over or block your way).
What do others feel about where they are now, how they got there and where they think they might want to go?
This will differ from generation to generation, I suspect.
Well, if I had a time machine and could go back and give my younger self advice, I'd tell myself to work at least as hard on friendships and myself as on my career, because money really isn't worth very much when you have no one to share it with.

I keep on trying to type the 'right' words, and deleting every time, so I'm just going to say that I'm thinking of you and hoping the situation improves, which is trite, but true.
And here is a cat face for you
