Dear Sofioula,

I sometimes feel so left behind in life and like I’ve let my younger self down.

What did your younger self want? What kind of expectations (or dreams) did she have?

None of my expectations came true.

Do you think those are your own expectations, or the expectations of your family and peers that you’re feeling pressured by?

I just don’t know if this is MY life.

I understand you. If you don’t live according to your own goals and desires, it doesn’t feel like living your own life…
