I read this quote in my work diary this week and it really sank into me. It's so true, Life never turns out the way you expect it to, in fact it rarely even lives upto half of your dreams that you had of it! Sadly its so true, there you are a quater of a century old and still trying to get somewhere in life, still stuck in the life that you hoped to grow into something more fuller, perhaps a a loving partner, a happy marriage,a good career and the hopes of starting your own family. It evetually hits hard that you still trying to get somewhere in life, still haven't met the person you've been waiting for, still haven't even finished that degree that you've been doing for the past three years, and there you are sitting and analysing your life wondering if you are ever going to get there! Wondering if in the next 5 years if you would still be at the very place procrastinating and stuck in the rut of a job that was only supposed to temporary, keeping it going for everybody else.
Yes, I know it sounds ungrateful right now, because in essence your life is still great, okay perhaps better than great, far greater than the average person, but yet you still find yourself feeling down. And then you think about how you shouldn't complain because look around you, you have no reason, there is always someone in a far worse position than YOU, and yes, it so true!
There is alot to be grateful for. I guess your life doesn't turn out the way you expect it to, don't give up on your dreams even if you stuck and getting old, it doesn't matter, there's no handbook that says you can't start a career at 30 years old, you can't have children at an unconventional age than is expected by you from society, so you still searching for that special somebody, its okay someday eventually it will happen, maybe when you fifty, God only knows. Or perhaps you will die untimely! And that will be your life, but at least you lived and had a story, not the story you imagined it to be, but you had a story. Yes, life is unfair because all your friends around you have a great career, are married and living the HAPPY FAMILY DREAM but you aren't but that is your life story... still unfolding and where it will take you, I don't know but I do know that if you are still stuck in this rut at thirty years old, somebody please slap you silly till you see sense because then you will only be a silly dreamer all your hopeless life, that is ofcourse if there are no unforseen circumstances.. Like I said you really have no control of what will happen tomorrow, but you have control of how YOU handle it.
Life is a journey for some of us it's a different journey perhaps more scenic, yes I'd like to think of your journey as a slow one, thank God that you have been given the opportunity to enjoy the scenery because some people just pass through at a high-speed and thats it, it's done, at least you enjoying the scenery!!
