I Never Knew This About Myself Until I Turned 26

I always thought turning 26 would feel different.
I imagined I would have everything figured out my career, my finances, my relationships, and my future. I thought by 26, I would have become the person I had always dreamed of being.

But life taught me something completely different.
Turning 26 didn't give me all the answers. Instead, it made me start asking better questions.
For the first time, I began asking myself, “Who am I when nobody is watching?”

I realized I had spent so much of my life trying to make other people proud that I sometimes forgot to ask myself what truly made me happy.
