How does your life right now compare to what you thought your life would be like at this point?

I gess that some if not most of people can answer to this in a simpler way-
Not me.

Partially cos I have on my shoulders not a few years of strong experiences, different in nature and I refuse to put all of them in one account according to what the overall feeling "results".
That is, I live and feel about what is also out there.

Also cos on different stages I had also different expectancies. Sometimes cos previously didn´t knew better or worst.
Times when I thought that all deppended on me (no one else around to share the effort).
Times when I put all my bussy hopes in someone that was not the right one (for me, despite of the other one other merits).
Times of lonely but calm sadness.
Times signed by a mature passionate love that is gone.

Did my best though not always was enough.
I´ve been blessed and been cursed and still living with the best smile is left.

No one else is to blame for my errors.
Sometimes but few, happynes was a gift.

Well 15 years ago I thought I’d still be happily married to my ex, house, dogs, job after college, all that bullshit. Then he left, everyone died and I’m alone with my son now not knowing what tomorrow will bring, much less, the future. I abandoned expectations and comparisons years ago. People think I’m weird and crazy but I don’t make plans, I just go with the flow because I know how hard disappointment hits when you’re invested in something that’s out of your control and in constant change.

Minus being single (divorced), my life is amazingly good. I planned for retirement, got lucky and retired a few years earlier than I thought I would. All-in-all, life is good.

Much better , retired a few years ago, was very worried about that but found it’s great and don’t know how i had time for work now

I didn't really plan anything or had any concrete thoughts on any particular time in future.

So much worse. I achieved all but two of my lifetime goals, right when I felt at peace everything went to shit. Now I'm lost with no path or direction.

In manu ways it is better, however,.in many ways it is worst than I had ever planned, specifically career wise, I am not where I wanted to be.

Some missed travel thanks to Covid. But tolerably close to where I planned apart from that.😷

Definitely better than I expected, and I am grateful for that every day.

Better!

Come to think about it, I don't think I even had a plan.

My life is like a piece of crap that won’t stop stinking.

I'm happy so what more can I ask

much worse

Worse.

Worse
