I wanna cry

I was told by a 12yo that I’m a loser and a failure because I’m 26 still in university! I’m working as a receptionist and my salary isn’t much. It barely covers one course cost and since I’m funding my own education I’m struggling taking several courses per semester there for it’s taking me a long while to finish and get my degree. I know it might sound silly but hearing this from a kid actually hurts more than hearing it from an adult. I feel disappointed in myself. Saw many people my age in big positions and I’m just here. I’m totally thankful to god that at least I do have a job and I’m trying to get educated but being this late in everything is breaking me.

I’m just venting. 🚶🏻‍♀️‍➡️
