I can never catch up

It seems like everytime Im finally getting somewhere I find that Im really no further ahead then I was anytime before. Am I messing things up or do I just need a new perspective in life? Don't let anyone say life doesn't require anything out of you cause it does. Its requires a lot actually. It requires love, sacrifice, work, etc. It doesn't require your happiness or joy. Those are things you can get out of life. It's give and take, and its all your own decision.
So my quarter life crisis is almost over I think. Hopefully Ill be getting into a groove I really enjoy soon. I was in one of those grooves once or twice in my life.specifically when I was a senior in college. Ah, I was in my glory then. No car, poor as all hell, but I loved it. I walked or rode with friends where I needed to go and everything just seemed to work out great. Ah, well I must go eat some dinner with my good friend Tom so I bid you adieu.
