It takes a long time for these things to happen.
As a kid it all seems planned out because school / university is a big plan. People can tell you what to study, what tests to take, where to apply. It's all laid out in front of you.
But as an adult that stuff goes away. You just get a job and are expected to show up to work every day.
Truth is the opportunities are still there and can still work your way towards money and success. I'm 28 years old and still struggling to make enough money to survive too. But at least we can keep working, we have our health and places like Steem where great things are happening.
Don't give up! There's lots of us here on Steem working through the same struggles and problems. It's possible to overcome it.
come hang out at my steem blog sometime if you have questions or want motivation, you aren't in it alone. I post and have conversations about this kinda stuff all the time. theres lots of good people on steem to learn from
Thank you so much for this reply. It sure feels good to know that I'm not alone in this. I would be checking your blog from time to time. In fact, you just gained a follower. Thank you.
