I have mixed feelings about today. Yes its my birthday and I should be grateful to see another year. There are people who unfortunately don't make it this far. I feel this way because I'm not where I want to be at this stage in my life. I always thought I would have a place of my own and have a partner but, with the way men are now, I guess I should consider myself lucky. Unfortunately, things have not gone how I imagined. I still live at home and help out with bills. I don't have a high paying job, but in this economy I should be grateful to even have one. Job searching has been hell. I see my old classmates getting married and popping out kids, or in relationships. I'm grateful at least to still have my parents and a best friend who understands me.
How many of you have been in my shoes at my age? Please tell me that it gets better.
Sorry, I know this post seems all over the place.
Happy Birthday!! Yeah I get you. I'm in a similar age range and I've been there. I think for me I realised a while back if its going to 'get better' it's up to me. I think it was Oprah who said something like if you don't know what your destination is then you don't know where you'll end up, or something to that effect. I would suggest getting clear on what you want and then committing to it. aka committing to yourself.
like really committing.
Also, we're in no mans land atm in terms of history unfolding collectively, so I would say focus on what you can control and go from there. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
