Did you ever think by a certain age you would have achieved something? Then when you’ve gotten to that age you’re nowhere near that? Are you happy that what you expect didn’t come true or do you wish it had?

I always thought I’d be married at 20-ish and have kids by 22/23. Am I sad life hasn’t worked out that way? For sure, but I’m also so happy for the way it has proceeded (except maybe losing 2020 and 1/2 of 2021 to a pandemic). I think there are some days I am a lot harder on myself than others about where I am in life.
As my friends continue to get married and have babies, I definitely feel like I’m missing out on that sometimes. I did the math the other day and in ONE of my friend groups there are 25 kids, twenty five, and none of them are mine. Some days I feel like I’m failing at being an adult but then other days I realize I can go and do what I want, travel when I want, eat what I want, watch what I want, and don’t need to worry about someone else, which is nice. I sometimes forget how old I am, what the world expects me to have achieved by this age and those are the days I’m happiest.
At what age did you think you were going to achieve something? What age did that finally happen for you if it has? Are you happy? ⬇️Comment ⬇️
