yeah I kinda feel like that. not that I had solid life goals to begin with. I'm finally moved out of my hometown and hoping to start college in the fall(where that will lead i honestly don't know, I just want to be back in school). I was feeling useless even at the end of 2009 But I take a look around at the people I went to high school with and most of them are floating around to. although enjoying themselves I really can't envy most of them. most of the people i hung out with don't have a post-secondary education, have 1 to 3 kids and are perpetually 'engaged' and I'm not even 23!
Not that any of that is a bad thing. I want a family of my own too someday it's just that for most of us life unfolds alot differently than what we were told it should since we were first asked what we wanted to do with our lives. For me I have some more shit to go thru before i'm probably ready for any of that is all. I wouldn't say you or any of us are "behind on life goals" but simply living life. 12/05/2011 P*$$y so bad, if u throw it into da air, it would turn into sunshine!!! | |

HELL.FUCKING.YES.
I am 26 years old. I have back to school twice and have nothing to show for it. And I'm about to go BACK to school again! I'm looking for work like crazy, but I don't even know what I want to do with myself. I feel like I'm just rotting away.... | |

Most of them are married, with kids, own homes/apartments, go on fun vacations to foreign countries, etc. (Most don't have secodary degrees, though.) And I don't want to be married or have kids, so I don't care about that. I do wish my 'career' was better off, which would help in the "fun vacations" and home owner thing. After a decade of struggling paycheck to paycheck at museums , I *finally* have a job that pays me a living wage (for NYC, even!); but I really miss working in a museum environment.
I try to remind myself of that when I start to compare myself to my friends. "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

Wrong ass thread...EDIT! And Thus Spake Zarasthrustra!
Did it ever cross your angry little mind that perhaps they already have? Um, whatever. Follow me to the other thread if you like. I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |
