Life Path

When I was younger I thought about my future and where I would be when I was 30.  I thought I would be married, with two kids, and living in a McMansion in the country.  I thought I would be consumed by sports practices and dance lessons.  At 30, none of these things have happened for me yet.


It's funny how you have plans for yourself but the universe has a different set of plans.  I am not unhappy with my life, it just wasn't where I thought I would be at 30.


Age is just a number though, right?  I'm not one of those people who had plans to be married by 25 and have my first kid at 27 and so on and so on.  That seems to put a lot of pressure on people.  I often wonder if that is why the divorce rate is so high.  Are people pushing to be married by a certain age and when they reach that age, they don't care who they are with, as long as it is someone?


I recently had a conversation with a friend who had those plans, but after them being together for a few years she realized her boyfriend wasn't the right one to fulfill those plans.  She ended up breaking it off, which was hard for her, but I think she made the right decision.


Moral of the story is, don't make plans for yourself.  Live your life day by day and see what the universe has planned for you.
