I have been alive for 25 years now in this world. For the most part it has been a smooth ride but I also encountered some downs that taught me a lot.

25 Years of Consuelo Sanna

Over the last year, a lot of things have changed and sometimes I feel overwhelmed by how different my life is. 2020 was the 25th year of my life and also the year of the Covid-19. Before it all happened, I had recently graduated as a Software Engineer, I was admitted into a program for startups and just started an internship in a really good company.

2020 started amazingly well for me, but I kept felting way off course, lost and far off the track of what I was “supposed” to be doing or allegedly meant to be achieving. It was a pressure that admittedly came mostly from within and might have been a quarter-life crisis that sometimes I still feel while I try to remember one of my favorite quotes:

Everyone has is own pace.

I am an introvert and spent most of the time contemplating where I am in my life and how time seems to be passing faster and faster. This is a very personal article, feel free to share your experience too and remember that everyone has is own pace, you are where you are supposed to be and if you don’t like something you can change it, it is YOUR life.
