Why do I wake up at 3:00 AM with my heart pounding and feeling like I’m falling hopelessly behind in life?
During the day, I smile, perform well at work, and seem totally fine. But at 3 AM in the dark, an alarm blares inside my chest.
All my college friends are buying homes, getting married, or raising capital, while I feel completely frozen in place. What if I am still in this exact spot 5 years from now? The midnight terror leaves me staring at the ceiling until dawn.
