We live in a fast paced, always on the move, type of world. People come and go like the wind. As a college kid, I feel as if the days and weeks are all blurred into each other as I rapidly speed towards the real world my parents keep telling me about. It’s hard to imagine a life beyond my current one, but I can’t help but to put myself in the generic white picket fence type setting we all grow up being told will one day be ours. As a barely adult living in 2016, the thought of marriage seems so far off, like a distant lighthouse burning just beyond my vision. I one day hope to reach that level of white picket fence bliss I keep hearing about …but that point is simply not today. Or the next day. Or even next year. Period.

I want to travel and see the world before I ever think of settling down. I want to have a strong career and graduate college. I want to be able to support myself before ever considering having a family. With our recovering economy and growing job market this all might happen sooner rather than later but until it does, I think I will be happy enough with where I currently am in life. This is my life, and it’s the only shot I have. So you better believe that I want to enjoy every moment of it before I start that next great adventure awaiting me at the end of the aisle.
