I've been struggling a lot in terms of the future

There's just so much unknown.

I hope by age 23/24/25, I am able to pay for all my bills without being a leech onto my mom.. I guess that's the only thing I know for sure right now.

Man, Nick and I's moms have set some grand goals.
My mom moved across the ocean and paid all her international student fees, rent, and luxuries on her own in her 20s and Nick's mom paid for herself starting at the age of 14.

And here I am struggling to even help pay for my own rent and debating which pieces I should purchase out of my Zara cart. :/
