I was supposed to be a teacher in a High School by the time I was 23, I am now 25. I wanted to be married with children before 25 and have my first child after I was married. I have a wonderful son, but I am not married. I was supposed to be a home owner at 25, I rent. There a lot of things that I was supposed to or wanted to be when i was younger and while I may have not achieved them or they didnt meet the parameters of the timelines I set, that does not make me a failure by any means. After some time to reflect, I realize, I am happy with the life I have made thus far and my journey is just starting. My son is going into his first year of Kindergarten, I am about to wrap up my school and get my Masters degree, and opportunities are already opening up with school districts and high schools to the point where I have to deny them at this time because I need to tie up loose ends elsewhere, first. I am grateful. Sure, I am behind in my said timeline, but I am happy with my progress and to have a semi-clear vision of where I could end up or be doing in the next 3-5 years. I have a fantastic job I never thought I would enjoy and I have an amazing support group in my friends and family that I wouldnt trade for the world. The point of this was to simply state that when you feel you have failed or maybe not lived up to your goals or expectations you once set, thats life! Take a set back at the things you do have and appreciate them, because things could be FAR worse. Happy Thursday, yall :)
