What did your life look like at age 28?

    *Hectic*, as it was last year.

    Had a lot of massive changes regarding my family life, and bridging gaps of estrangement.
    The movement towards being sterilised began ramping up, I was finally getting calls and appointments.
    Focused a lot more on photography
    Discovered I’m a switch in BDSM, something that I never even considered for the past decade of being into it
    (Sadly) wasted a lot of time, energy, love, sex, emotional availability, and devotion to a cheating man… Didn’t know he was cheating at the time, though
    Finally quit volunteering at a place I was suffering a lot of mental health breakdowns at
    Got the paperwork in order to see a psychiatrist, who would diagnose me only a few months ago as ADHD… But at 28 I had no idea I was neurodivergent, I was just running through life undiagnosed
    Endometriosis/PCOS pain generally shitty, but more control over my pelvic floor dysfunction than I did in 2023
    Began doing yoga again which has revolutionised my life
    Decided on trying to recover from my eating disorder
    Far too many fights with my Mum as she’s doubling down on her conservative evangelicalism, and I began deconstructing to progressivism far deeper than before

    LOT of ups and downs. Good parts, bad parts, “I can’t fucking deal with this” parts, and I consider it overall a genuinely shitty year with a lot of mental and physical health tolls. But there were some good parts amongst it all.

    At 28 I was married with 2 kids. Pretty happy times. Now I’m 34 and still married but with 4 kids.

    Following because I’m 28 and feeling so bad about where I’m at right now.

    I broke up with an emotionally abusive man 7 months ago and had to move back home with my parents. I’m currently working and trying to save up to go back to school. It sticks being single again after 4 years, but I knew that my relationship wasn’t going to get better. I feel so behind compared to other people and thought I’d be more established by now.

    I had been married two years and had my first baby. In my fourth year of teaching.

    I’m 28, married, child-free, genuinely happy, and living a great life, enjoying the kind of things most people my age tend to overlook.
