Thank you for this. I related to almost everything here. I still have grief over the fact that my accomplishments have been largely overlooked. I have the most advanced degree in my close circle of friends (master's) and bought a house all by myself (which none of my friends have done) and there was little celebration of either accomplishment, and hardly anyone who showed up for the parties. Yet, I see my friends have baby after baby and shower after shower, and the fanfare on social media and IRL is over the top. I'm happy to celebrate them, but I still wonder where everyone was for ME when it was my turn to celebrate.
