We have all had the pleasure of scrolling through social media and running across the “I’m incredibly excited to announce…” or the “Major Life Update” post. What follows is usually someone shouting from the hilltops that they just landed their dream job, they are moving to a new city, got married, bought a house, or are having kids. The more you extend your network, the more frequently these posts come across your feed. And while you are always happy to see your friends succeed, sometimes it can just feel like “When am I going to get my piece of the pie?” Especially if it’s been a while since you had one of your own “Major Late Breaking Life Update!!!” proclamations.
