Don't get caught up in what society expects you to be as far as the term success goes. Think about it, long long long ago no one gave a crap who drove what because cars did not exist, what kind of clothes you wore because you made your own, and in some cultures families live together forever and never move out.

Crap happens, 5 years ago I moved back in with parents and even had to claim bankruptcy because of my asshole ex boyfriend. I'm about to be 31 and just now about to move out. I just started college 3 years ago of which I pay for slowly out of my pocket.

Where there is will there is a way. Start by being grateful for what you have. Food, water, roof on your head, clothes on your back, the fact you are alive, family, etc. Someone somewhere does not have these things.

Some people are happy just living because they are not caught up in the whole captiloism of society and "keeping up with the Joneses" because really the whole mantra of being a loser and being successful in THIS society is a bunch of bull crap.
