Everyone around me has their lives sorted.

It's a strange feeling. I'm happy for them, but I'm sad that I don't have it sorted?

no one does, anyone that claims otherwise is lying or delusional

they're not setbacks, they're perturbations to unseat your local maxima and get you to your highest potential. i know in the moment it looks bleak, but if you have faith and keep working you'll get to where you need

Maybe I could have worded it better. 

It's like their life is progressing in the direction they wanted it to. For me, it's one unexpected event after the other that sets me back. It's strange cause even though I feel like I'm a better person than I used to be, my life is a lot worse than it used to be.
