This society expects us to force our way through life way too quickly. These expectations of finishing school by 18, going straight into uni, and then finding a job or going into a post-grad directly afterwards to avoid being a failure are ridiculous. Life is supposed to be enjoyed. It's ok to take longer to finish school (especially when health issues prevent you from being able to go straight through it), it's ok to take longer to figure things out, it's ok to take gap years to work on yourself, it's ok to not follow society's timeline. Follow your own timeline and take however long you need to finish school. You are not a failure. You are strong and you've got this.
