I’m the youngest among my cousins on my dad side. All of them are married with the exception of one who is getting married next year. Two of them have/are having babies this year.

Then there is me.

I’m 21. Not getting married or having any children any time soon and I just feel I have done nothing with my life.

I’m getting ready to start my senior year of college and my boyfriend/ best friends have told me that I have accomplished a lot already (jobs/internships, college, study abroad) but I don’t think my family really sees that so it means me feel like I will only ever be the kid cousin who’s done literally nothing with her life.

Am I wrong? Are my friends wrong? Or am I just looking to get a participation trophy and need to seriously get over myself? Does anyone else feel like this?
