Just on time for success?

Success is a big word used to be held over many young adults but what is it actually? Is success to get a piece of paper with my name on it not to forget crippling student debt? Is it how many zeros and comas fill my bank account? Or is it smiling every day ( not all day of course) because you’ve reached inner peace? Many different people and ideas reach into their minds and develop this personal journey to be something. Doesn’t matter if it’s family that motivates, friends, job, school, society, or just yourself it’s all a struggle to achieve this picture. For years my family all expected so much even though we came from nothing. I clearly didn’t reach any of those goals and my family relationships are complete shit. (If you know me then you know my mom and family situation that’s left me all alone ) Society wants me to be successful in a “Kylie Jenner” be young rich hot and insta verified. I will sit and compare myself to these different women of all backgrounds and see competition not equals or inspiration due to me not being on their level.... School makes me feel like crap all jokes aside, the stigma against community college is still quiet prominent with many rolled eyes. Stating “should have tried harder or got better grades” If that’s you I’m sending you a virtual middle finger. I am doing just fine I’m blessed enough to be gifted a free year and financial assistance, getting an education many dream of. If you are going to a big university I sincerely wish you the best of your journey to success. Don’t forget I’m reaching my own successes, I wake up and do my routines getting back on my feet battling my challenges. I go to work everyday even though it’s extremely hard some days. I’m finally re-doing my room, getting my license and a car. And sooo much more. BUT I am successful for being alive in this moment and reaching 18 (many do not see this age so never take your heartbeat for granted) No I am not successful in certain aspects of life to others but this is me. Not early not running late just on time...
