Since no one is answering right now:

Before finishing high school, I tend to think about how my friends and I be separated after spending about 4-5 years.
My future isn't as promising as I hope it be, nor I didn't choose any career path. Life was on hold for me, constantly giving me restless nights and spent my glory days in Off-Topic.
Back to current, I do have a career path, though I still have some challenges ahead about where would I live and get a job for, as well as any financial plans and communicate with friends, especially with friends. I would never feel a bit depressed leaving them after spending a good amount of time with them.
So yeah, whatever future holds, I just keep focusing what I need to do best.

If you were to explain your overcoming challenges, how would it be like?
