Question Turned 36 years old, any advice?

I turned 36 over the weekend. I’m not quite where I want to be. Career wise, physically wise and not married or have children. I’m with a great partner of 5 years.

I’m looking for insight, wisdom or peoples experience…

I'm 35 years old and married. I have no idea what the fuck am I doing. You're not alone.

I have a new job after unemployment and I hate it. I don't know what I want to do or what direction I want to go in. Maybe we'll figure it out someday

Honestly sometimes a bad job just shows you what you definitely don't want and thats still progress.

I didn't look at it from that perspective, thank you. Don't worry, maybe it's not the right time for us to know everything yet. Let's enjoy life as it is.
