I think this is one of the biggest lessons to learn in your 20s, and probably even into your 30s. Heck, maybe for life. Once you reach adult-hood, everyone's path changes. Life goes by at different speeds, and there are new opportunities popping up everywhere for everyone. You may feel that your life is changing differently than everyone else's around you, and you start to feel alone.
But it's not a bad thing. Not at all. In fact, it's perfectly normal.
So smile for the opportunities you get, and be happy that you're living a life that is your own. You are your own person now - you make your own choices, you make your own life.
great advice! and it's always an evolution.
ReplyDeleteI love this. I have to remind myself of it every time I log onto Facebook and see a newly posted pic of an engagement ring or ultrasound. Or every time a well-meaning relative asks when me and the bf (of nearly five years now) are going to get married. It's my life, I'll live it at my pace, thank YOU!
ReplyDeleteI know, it's so frustrating. It's especially hard because I'm the only single girl of all my friends, so I feel like I'm "losing a race" or something. I just have to keep reminding myself that it's not what life is about :)
DeleteYess! I can especially relate to Emma's comment. Everyone and their mother always asks when Josh and I are going to get married or have kids. It seems like everyone I know is either getting married or having a baby, but that's just not for us right now. I'm happy with the way life is now, so I'll keep on going the way I have been : )
ReplyDeleteSeriously eh? That's exactly what we need to do more often. Step back and take a look at our life. Are we happy for ourselves? Or are we happy because we "look" happy?
