Or is there always some nagging feeling & angst about things you wish for & you're not sure how to achieve them?

It's not perfect, but I've got quite a few of the things I wanted to have when I was imagining the future back then.

I've got a partner that I trust and love, I do the job that I wanted to be doing, albeit not the perfect company or the most satisfying position, I'm still in touch with the friends I wanted to keep (and happily not in touch with some of the rest), I'm no longer living with my parents and have two cats that are the perfect little creatures for company.

Some things could be better, many of them completely out of my control. My current goal is to just make my lifestyle healthier, I'm too sleepy all the time because of staying late trying to regain the time lost doing the boring adult things, and I get exhausted and out of breath extremely easily.
