I'm not where I want to be in life and that's okay. Why? Because I know that eventually I'll be where I'm supposed to be, a place that I want to be, and it will all work out.

It just takes some time and some have it easier than others.

It can become frustrating and discouraging, especially when you hear your friends and even strangers talk about how they got that job they always wanted right out of college or that they live on their own and they are financially stable. Not everyone is there yet. I'm definitely not, but I'm working to get there.

I work hard and I'm pretty frugal, but that can only get you so far. In order to get to that good place in life, you also have to find yourself. You have to discover who you are as a person and that's difficult. This is because nobody taught us that in school. We were taught to get good grades and to get a good job. Nobody told us that we would have to learn to love ourselves and to respect the journey that we are on even if we feel a little lost.

We are all a little lost, but isn't the excitement and the element of surprise the whole point of the journey? We learn from our mistakes along the way. We learn what we want to do, who we want to be, and what we want to get out of life.

Sometimes you just have to ask yourself, "so what?". So what if I'm not married yet? So what if I'm not in a relationship? So what if I'm still living with my parents? Just like they say, "You are not a tree.." So this is what I tell myself: I am not a tree. Nothing is permanent right now. What I'm going through is temporary.

So if you're feeling stuck, it's okay! Do what makes you happy. Try not to think about what others want you to do. Their opinions don't and shouldn't matter to you!
