Apart from those who are dead (2 that I know of), everyone I went to primary/high school with is doing much better than me. They've got better lives, and they are headed for better places. It seems like I'm at the bottom of the rung.
I know life is not a competition, and we're all headed to different destinations. Frankly, I'm not even disappointed that everyone I knew is doing better than I. I'm just trying to move at my own pace.
Everything I've tried has failed, and any progress I attempt to make gets thwarted by external forces. My own conscience no longer holds me accountable because it knows I've done nothing wrong or stupid. Life has just been a series of unfortunate events and circumstances beyond my control.
