How long did it take you to figure out life?

[MysticMango]

Hey everyone,

I’m 27 years old and have a master’s degree, but I’m feeling really lost right now. I just want to find contentment and happiness in my life.

I’d love to hear from you all about what you’re doing now and how long it took you to get to where you are. Any insights or advice on navigating this confusing time would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for sharing!

Hey MysticMango,


I completely understand how you're feeling—being in your late twenties and feeling a bit lost is more common than you might think. It's fantastic that you're reaching out for insights and support.


First off, take comfort in knowing that figuring out life is an ongoing journey, and the timeline is different for everyone. For me, it took a while to find my path, and I realized that embracing uncertainty can lead to discovering passions you never expected.


In Canada, there are several resources that can help you navigate this confusing time. Jack.org is a youth mental health organization that offers initiatives to support young people in finding their path and maintaining mental wellness.

If you're interested in career advice or networking, consider joining professional associations related to your field. They often offer mentorship programs and networking events. Websites like MentorCity and Ten Thousand Coffees can connect you with mentors who have been in your shoes and can offer guidance.

Remember, contentment often comes from small steps and daily gratitude. Explore hobbies or volunteer work that bring you joy—sometimes, happiness is found in unexpected places.


Wishing you all the best on your journey to happiness and fulfillment!
