What Is Life.

All of my friends are starting to get into relationships, get engaged/married, and have kids. I'm just trying to finish my undergraduate degree and go to law school. As I sit and witness their lives, I realize that there is a pretty strong possibility that I will be that one single friend who never has kids. I will be that friend that is envious of my friends because they are happy and have families. I will be the sad, lonely friend. These are thoughts I have. Especially since I have this one friend that is particularly judgmental about my love life. She criticizes everything and swears that I lead everyone along. It's pretty horrible. She makes me feel like I am not good because I am not in a relationship. I think this for a little while, then I switch gears. Like, what is wrong with people my age? They're all running to get married and have babies when they're not even into a stable financial situation yet. I have plans that I intend to follow. And goals that I intend to achieve. When I get married and start a family, I want to be able to provide for my family. So, NO. I may not be in some great relationship right now close to marriage and kids, but I am living my life accomplishing my goals. The difference between you (all of my friends) and myself is that we travel different paths. My path is not the same as yours, and it may not go how you would like it to, but it is just that -- MY PATH.

So, to all my fellow people being judged for their paths: Stand strong and keep your head high. You may not be doing as great as you want. You may not have the relationship that you want. You may not have kids yet. BUT, do not let this get you down. You are still great. You are traveling at your own pace. Your life will go as it should. Don't let anyone take that away from you or make you second guess yourself. Continue to do what you are doing.

Dream big.

Stay Strong. 

Have Hope.

Love.
