Q: I feel like I’m falling behind in life compared to others my age. How do I deal with that pressure?
Franca’s Answer: The idea of “falling behind” is often based on comparison, not reality. Everyone’s journey is different, even if it doesn’t feel that way.
What you see in others is only part of the story. You don’t see their struggles, doubts, or setbacks.
Instead of measuring your life against others, focus on your own progress. Ask yourself: Are you growing? Are you learning? Are you moving forward in your own way?
There is no universal timeline for success. The pressure you feel comes from expectations that may not even be yours.
Your path is valid, even if it looks different.
