I certainly ain't. At my age I should be wealthy, educated, and maybe successful in whatever field I choose. This certainly isn't so. But I can only blame myself for that.

I will be soon

Not really. But on my way finally. I had a marriage that got in the way.....

lol

I wanna be a rock star already!

Yes, I think that I am.

in some ways i'm where i want to be, and in some ways i'm not.

there's that line from armistead maupin that says you can have a great relationship, a great job and a great apartment, but you can't have all three at the same time...i think i'm a believer in that.

that said, i have a great relationship and a great apartment.

Nicely put. I'll try not to regurgitate the same sentiment, even though I was thinking the same thought. It is our condition as human beings to never truly be satisfied and always want what we havent got. We never stop yearning to conquer and lusting after what we see our neighbors with. We are however, capable of recognizing what true happiness consists of and those things are typically free, God-given. Anything else is a bonus.

I thought I'd be over at the shops by now.

same here

All I need is money, and that should be ale to get me to where I'd like to be in my life.

I own my own mortgage, so there.
Answering the question honestly? Yeah, pretty much.

Are You Where You Want To Be In Your Life Right Now?


yes

75% there.

I could have a better job, however, I think my job/career is ALWAYS going to be just for money to pay the bills.

I work on my dream A LOT more than my friends and I am sucessful at it. Many have express a little envy that I can do it and have the time to do it. Music that is. ANd the DJ thing, which is part of that. I really wish I was further along in my music career...and I plan on making big strides this year. But I could be further along if I applied myself more. My friends say I am gdoing good though, in spite of me not thinking so. They say "Hey, at least you have a dream to work towards and find the time and gumption to actually do it". I am hard on myself.

I have a great relationship too. I found someone who GETS me and vice versa. He's not my "wet-dream dream boat" and we don't have a lot of similar intrests...in some areas. But he's great and loves me and takes care of me and I don't want to kill him most of the time. We've been together for 5 yrs now and I think we've just hit that "boredom" patch most couples get into and freak out about it. I'm not bored with "him" per se, but we are in a groove, you know. I do consider myself "married" And can't see myself with anyone else. I sorta put it like this...I didn't get the million dollar prize, but I got the half million and am quite content with that.

Mentally and Financially...I am very ok and stable. I can buy what I want yet don't have that many luxuries. I am the most mentally sound of most I know.

Physically, I need to get a physical, see the dentist, quit smoking (fer real!), excercize (lose the lil tummy) and smoke pot less. Yoga, meditate and eat less meat Yeah, I have quite of bit to do on that front.

I think what will bring me closer to it all...is if I get the physical thing going, the job thingy a lil better and keep at the music, I'll be ok. I really pride myself for having barely anyskills...moving out at 19...making 12K a year (gross), working 3 jobs and going to school...to working 1 job, I'm SUPER-ADMIN!, make...enough, and got my shit together by 34. Like it goes...I've come a long way baby. But I never gave up. I just kept at it.

Hmmm THAT was a sharing moment.


I have to say last but not least...GET MY DEGREE.

no.

Nope

but im working on it....and getting closer all the time. alot of things are up in the air right now...and its making it hard to discern which is the one i need to take care of first. today im working on my heart...making that feel ok. tomorrow it might be my job...or my living situation....those are both not right either. lifes a work in progress. and im making progress...thats all i can ask for right now

not at all, but i don't believe in commiserating the fact. in life, we make plans, and more often than not, life lokks at those plans, laughs it's ass off, and shits on them

Nope. As a matter of fact I think I'm regressing.
Do you ever get where you want though? I think you play as you go along as long as you wake up with a smile on your face.

im trying... but, i am very grateful to have the children i do - yesterday was my son and my 10th anniversary 10 years ago i got to meet him for the very first time... childbirth is a weird thing, what horrible pain you go through ends with the most wonderful gift. my kids are strange sometimes... but, they are my entire reason for living

No. In fact, in pretty much all areas of my life I'm as far opposite as I possibly could be of where I thought and hoped I'd be at this age.

I would guess I'm supposed to be learning something by being in the place I'm at now in my life, but I'm having a rough time figuring out exactly what and it's hard not to get frustrated sometimes.

But, one thing I *have* learned is that you have to roll with the punches life throws you and just keep trying to do your best.

Anybody got a plane ticket?

I would call that a loss.

I'm pretty satisfied at the moment. Good house and an enjoyable job. I don't earn a lot of money but that has never interested me as long as I'm happy which I am right now. I suppose I oughtta really look to get the most out of my university degree but I'm still young, still fit and horny so that's all on hold for the moment.

No,not really...


Feel like I am a damn sight closer than ever before, but I swear some bastard keeps moving the horizon further away.....

no, not at all

my life has changed so much in the last 6 months but i am getting there now

after soul searching i know what i want and i am making the changes that need to be made.

for the future

Hell. No. Going through probably the hardest time of my life so far.

But there are some really positive elements that I hope will carry into a beautiful future. I'm trying to get there.

I'm working on my mental and physical health, taking care of my family, and looking towards furthering my education down the road and doing something useful and compassionate with my life.

And for now, just hanging on.

Hell No:( Still contemplating whether or not I should go back to school...Need to find a better job.....Damn you for this thread!!!


Smooches;)
