That hollow feeling of living someone else's definition of success while losing touch with yourself is genuinely heartbreaking, and it takes real courage to recognize it. The fact that you're questioning this at 29 rather than sleepwalking through decades more means you still have so much time to discover who you actually are beneath all those external achievements. Sometimes we have to build the "right" life first before we can feel safe enough to tear it down and rebuild it as our own.
