Achieve

 

What should you have achieved in life? I mean should I have achieved certain goals before a certain age?

I find it overwhelming sometimes. 

I have no children, I don't own my own home, I have not found my perfect job and I am in my mid-forties.

Is it a rule that you should have a conventional life and have achieved certain goals that may be expected?

It is the expectation, I think, that I cannot get to grips with.

Just because I may not have achieved these things that may be expected of me does not make me any less of a person or strange; it makes me an individual and this is something that I, and others, should revel in.
