I think part of what gets me down so often is that I built up these expectations for my life and I haven't reached any of my goals yet. I know I'm not the only 25 y/o that isn't in their dream career, living in their dream city, in a happy relationship, etc. (1)

I need to work on setting more attainable goals for my current self and stop hyper focusing on what I don't have. I've accepted that my current way of thinking isn't good for my mental, so now it's just about finding ways to focus on the present. (2)

If anyone has struggled with similar things, definitely let me know how you've gotten away from toxic thoughts like this. <3
