Where did my life go?

I finished school in early 00s. I went in and out from courses and jobs and about 10 years ago I settled in a job. I liked it and enjoyed it for many years. There was no progression or opportunity for pay increase in all them years.

Here I am now nearly touching 40 and I'm nearly in the same position I was 10 years ago. My siblings have moved away to a different continent and set up life there for themselves. I never ever kept in touch with my school friends. So many people are just gone - living abroad and working.

I'm trying to figure out where the years went by and where they went to. They went by so fast.

I get this. But my advice is to stop thinking about what happened in the past and start figuring out what you want for the rest of your life and how to get there.

You are lucky to have had a job you enjoy for so long, btw. Lots of people never have that.

You need a hobby. Trust me on this one. An all-consuming, obsessed with it hobby.
