Is it even worth it

Watching my friend’s Instagram stories going on a Mexico trip while I’m stuck turning comments trying to get an IC memo out. I didn’t go last year either.

I really can’t complain. I’m 29 and grinded from an unconventional background. Single, got a killer apartment and a brand new car but it’s moments like these where I wonder if I’m missing out on too much and should start doing it differently now.
