I Am Not Where I Wanted to Be At This Age

I found my senior yearbook the other day with a page i filled out when i was 18, detailing where i thought i would be in 10..15..then 20 years...apparently at 18 i thought i would at some point be a psychiatrist with a loving husband and an amazing family life..have a house..a dog- the whole 9.. however at 32 i am divorced and a single mom ( at least i got the amazing family part right) who works in accounting...Life isn't terrible but it just makes me think how life really gets in the way of your plans. I feel so far behind my other friends in their 30s, buying houses and going on family vacations..and here i am renting a condo and pretending to be excited about my staycations while looking at their pictures of Ireland or some crap....damn it

Life is what happens to you while you are making other plans... :/
Yeah life doesn't always work out how you intend. But if you have a condo and a good family that's still more than a lot of people have. It's hard not to compare yourself to others in your peer group but if you define yourself by the accomplishments of others you won't ever really be happy.
