More often than not, I come across articles on internet “publications” that are really just variations on the same old, same old. With the increasing popularity of sites like Elite Daily, Buzz Feed, Unworthy, and Thought Catalog, I think it’s particularly interesting in be a publisher in this digital age. Especially as a millennial, we engage in our fare share of instant nostalgia, and many times it’s not all that warranted.

And then this morning happened.

I was just minding my own business, you know, checking my Facebook newsfeed on the way to work when I saw an article that I thought might be kind of interesting. It was called, “20 signs you’re doing better than you think you are.” This article came to me at a very interesting time.

Having just moved out of my parent’s home – after moving back in – I”m constantly going back and forth with myself mentally. It’s a big change and it’s one that I like to think I am ready for, and that I couldn’t be more anxious/eager/prepared for (and yes I do realize that all of those are not synonyms). More than anything, having monthly bills to worry about isn’t really something new for me – but it is a little different at this scale.

I’m excited to move to that “next stage” of life. But this article also served as a very worthy reminder that I’ve come a very long way at my very young age. And no matter how nervous I am it is something to be proud of.

Here it is: Thought Catalog’s 20 Signs You’re Doing Better Than You Think You Are.

P.S., don’t be worried if you’re my age and you may be missing some of these on the list. I’m missing some  but hey…isn’t that all just a part of the experience called life?
