You aren't the only one who has felt lost sometimes. Even if living in-the-moment doesn't feel like it once did, it's still the best way to live. Don't compare yourself to others, and don't feel that they are "ahead" of any game. Everyone must live at their own pace, following their own heart and their own time for things to unfold. I am much older than that person in their forties who spoke to you, and I can tell you that you will reach a point where you are NOT bothered by such things. Just be true to yourself, take things as they come, and move at your own pace. Everything will fall into place. You are beautifully imperfect the way you are, and that is how it is meant to be. Just flow with it, just live. 💖
