    I ve been doing some soul searching as of late. Being 30 I thought I would’ve been farther along in my life. People all around me are getting married, having kids, buying houses, doing all the things I thought I would be doing by this age. Then I took a serious look at my life and realized that I needed to stop comparing myself to others. There was nothing to gain from constant comparisons to the lives of others. I never gave myself credit for the positive things I am doing with my life right now. This life experience is a learning process and it took me 30 years to realize that but I guess its better late than never.

    Aaahhh, those pesky Assumptions! When I was little I thought I’d effortlessly be the President of the MET by 30. Or servants/chefs/chauffeurs would magically appear once you have $$$. (Which happens once you’re a museum president.)

    In 5th/ grade at the end of the year/elementary school my DS’s teacher told them to write down what they’d be doing, who they’d be married to, how many kids, etc. at 30.

    DS will write for The New York Times and have a wife named Maria. Just so you know. LOL

    YES, in your mid-twenties you’re “supposed” to fall in love and get married and have a fabulous job.

    YES, in your thirties you’re “supposed” to be a home owner with kids.

    But just think that you have a Great Gift. FREEDOM!!!
