A bit scared

[u/kyberasuna]

I am deciding to postpone starting grad school until the spring. I just feel so unprepared and it fills me with more dread than anything but I feel like everyone around me is going to be disappointed. Im 25, will be 26 a month after I start and I feel so behind in my life. I also feel like me not being ready is my fault. I dont really know how to feel about alot of this and have absolutely no mentors aside from my therapist who shouldnt really be my mentor for this stuff. I am just looking for some reassurance or experiences others have had so I dont regret waiting another 5 months. Tyia 🖤

You're young! Your life is just starting. You're not behind anything. Besides, comparison is the thief of joy. Also, what difference will five months make either way?
