You know what? I say that you're not late at all to do something with your life. The whole concept that you're supposed to achieve and accomplish great things in your 20s is absolutely false. It's not true. As a matter of fact your 20s are for trying things and making mistakes and learning from them, same goes for 30s and beyond. And actually your 30s is when your life really begins and that's where people really start achieving things in life. Sure yes there are those who accomplish things early on in there 30s, but that doesn't mean that it's too late for you. Everyone is on their own path, going their own pace and on their own time. You're doing just fine. And I'm sure your 30s are gonna be even better than your 20s. Wishing you the best and sending lots of love and support. ❤

I went through the same crisis. Don't worry, it's never too late -)

The answer is it's definitely never too late, even if you're approaching your 40s! Your 30s will bring about a level of wisdom and problem solving that you likely didn't have in your 20s.

It's a bit like one of those sections in a game where when you first pass through, you can't go through all the doors because they're locked, but later in the game you get a key or something that allows you to go back and unlock all the doors you couldn't check the first time through.

I would say my life didn't really "take off" until I was in my early 30s, and I was able to get the job I wanted, make the friends I wanted. It took me about 2-3 solid years of work, but I got there and started making up for what I considered my "lost 20s", even though they weren't really lost. Upon reflection I feel like each decade of your life is about learning different lessons and gaining new experience in certain areas. Your 20s is indeed your prime in terms of your brainpower and health, but that means it's mostly good for things like experimenting, doing things that you can really sort of do while young, as well as just being able to enjoy certain things without much penalty (e.g. eating trash diet, drinking alcohol, sex etc).

That being said, it's never too late to start accruing wisdom to get you towards your goals. Everyone advances at different rates, and as long as you are further forward now than you were last year, that's a good direction to be going, even if it's small change. It could just be having put up some posters in your bedroom, tried a few new things dietary-wise.

But in terms of your 'master plan' for life; I suppose you can think about what you want to do; what is your passion / dream in life? Picture carefully what it is like and how you'll get there. Start mapping out the steps required to get you there. Make little steps every day (even if it is the tiniest thing in the world, it might simply be making one single phone call).

Don't worry, it's never too late. I didn't start actually trying to 'go somewhere' with my life until I was about 30, after a few years of work, now I'm caught up and well beyond where I ever expected to be. I hope you can too! If you ever get stuck, do feel free to DM me anytime, am always open to listening or sharing anything I've found that might be useful.
