Oh I know, I keep getting penalized from everyone for "not caring what anyone thinks and wants to compare me to"[1]

But, y'know, sometimes you still want some perspective on how you're doing :)

[1] for instance my mum and grandparents keep throwing people my age who are "starting real adult lives already" at my face, whereas I'm just playing around with freelancing instead of looking for a job job

Ugh. "playing around with freelancing instead of looking for a job". I hate what society has become in regards to jobs. I find it so backwards that so many people believe what everyone should do is go find some boring huge company to slave away at until the majority of your life is over.
