When you Feel Late in Life
<p>Life moves on and we can’t help comparing ourselves (even though we know it steals our joy).</p>
<p>As soon as we enter adult life, there’s this kind of invisible competition that sets in. It’s as if we’re all heading somewhere, and the first to get there will be the happiest.</p>
<p>We go through the years with apprehension.<br />
The competition was already fierce in childhood, but our pure hearts were too innocent to understand.<br />
In our teens, as we scrolled through the social networks, we began to understand that it wasn’t going to be that simple.<br />
Then, the game of life starts with Adulthood aka the hardcore mode.<br />
As soon as you turn 18, it begins with someone, often a close relative, telling you, one random morning : <em>“Do you remember John? Now he’s studying at a prestigious high school.”</em></p>
<p>A way of reminding you, per se, that you’re a big loser.<br />
A few moments later, there’s Jenny, your old friend who’s just graduated from law school.<br />
You ? Still trying to find your way.<br />
You shamefully find yourself stalking Facebooks to see where you stand among your old friends.<br />
Phew, Homer’s still a loser. What a relief.</p>
<p>When the parents cross paths, the contest can begin.</p>
