It's just every once in a while I feel down about it--stupid weddings seem to be a trigger, actually.purplegirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02952678339075163056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884355511625778778.post-73684682615090772202009-05-04T16:15:00.000-06:002009-05-04T16:15:00.000-06:00Actually, if you're happy with your life, I do...Actually, if you're happy with your life, I don't think it should matter what society thinks you should have accomplished.<br>Hell, I'm 55 and didn't get married until 2 1/2 years ago. I've owned a house and a mobile home, and neither of those experiences were what I really wanted. I did manage to have a child (without benefit of marriage) and I raised him alone (and while I'm proud of him and love him heaps, that's not something I would recommend for other single women). I've had a lot of different jobs in my lifetime, some were good, some were awful, and I learned from all of them (some I was very successful at, some not so much). All in all, I can look back at my life and say that there really isn't anything I would change in it, it's been a good life, with ups and downs. But has it been a successful life according to what society thinks? Not a chance in hell, and I don't care. I've enjoyed it, hated it, lived it, wished I was dead through parts of it, and every bit of it has contributed to the person I am today, and I like that person. <b>That</b> is what matters most, I think.vesta44http://www.blogger.com/profile/15480692717585745934noreply@blogger.com
