Twenty-odd years seem to have passed like a whole lifetime. Everyone is an individual, and everyone has their own path in life.
Find your direction and keep moving forward. Naturally, I'll find my own way, instead of always watching other people walk theirs. Maybe someone else's path is bustling and prosperous, but taking all its wrong turns would cost me a great deal of time. Better to walk my own path, find the right direction, and keep going. Surely I'll gain something from it. If I see someone who's doing well, it means their strengths have obscured their flaws. If I see someone who's doing terribly, it means their flaws have obscured their strengths. What about me? Sometimes I feel great, and sometimes I feel awful. So all I need to do is keep the good and discard the bad, nurture my strengths, and work on my flaws. Little by little, I'll become a better person too.
