Dear Balance: I'm not sure that anyone, at any point, fully achieves balance. And maybe that's not the goal. I think of life in one's 20s as like DJing, mixing tracks while considering personal authenticity.
Every track is different. And there's always going to be somebody out in the crowd screaming, 'You're doing it wrong.' But there's no way to do it wrong if you stay true to yourself.
Prioritize your health. If your physical and mental health isn't good, everything is going to suffer. Don't worry about anyone else's timeline and focus on your own journey.
If you have time to pick up a book, try memoirs about this complicated time in life. They can offer perspective and humor, lessening feelings of isolation.
