I'm kind of in the same shoes as you. It's been a full year since I've joined the field I studied for. Been on my own for this full year has made me realized what the future can hold, and whether or not it's something I'd strive for. Thinking of starting a family hasn't crossed my mind so much. Looking for a better job has popped in my head a few times. What I care for is my health. I'd say I'm healthy now, but I'm looking on how I can prevent any future burdens because as soon as the 30's hit is when the metabolism and overall any bodily functions start to decline (slowly but surely). What's hitting me hard mentally is the constant struggle of trying to form relationships and how they are based off of economic status. For one, I've never had a serious girlfriend for a long period of time (I can't imagine having one either), but I'm not a player by any means I have more rare casual encounters if anything. There's also a tug of war in my head per say of whether I desire materials (to better my image in front of others) or just have a simple life where I consume knowledge and not have to worry about maintaining an image. It's really tough thinking about these things daily when you live in a very urban area where it is more times than not expected...
