I can certainly relate to being frustrated with not being where you wanted to be in life, and comparing yourself to those who seem to have it all together. I am also 25 and am also not even CLOSE to where I want to be. Here was my "perfect life plan":

-Go to university for my bachelor's degree
-Get my master's degree
-Become a social worker

Here's what really happened:

-Went to college for a year, then drop out during the third semester
-Tried a couple of part-time jobs that I ultimately quit
-Went to university, dropped out first semester.
-Tried a couple more part-time jobs that I ultimately quit

Where I am now:

-Steadily paying off my student loans so that I can attend college once more and graduate the program I originally started.
-Working a part-time job while on disability
-In a happy and healthy relationship

Am I where I thought I would be? No, not at all. But I do my best to appreciate what I do have and what I have learned along the way. Some of us get our start later than others and unfortunately, that is where patience is required. You will get to where you want to be if you work hard for it, taking the good with the bad and learning along the way. Feel free to PM me if you ever need to chat/vent.
