Hey Pandas, Where Were You Supposed To Be In Life By Now? (Closed)

Never been one to have a roadmap on life. But... Thought I would at least be married. 37 and not even had my first kiss.

With a boyfriend, us living together, me being successful, and being happy with my life. Well, one thing from that list actually happened, me getting a boyfriend. The test is never going to happen, who am I kidding? My life is a joke.

Married, kids, house and a career as a police officer. Not married, no kids, and not a police officer. Sadly I am past the age to join the police force.

At the very least, at home with my mother.

But, circumstances put me in foster care.

As long as I'm not dead I'm doing well for a 13 y/o

I thought I would have my doctorate degree and be a writing professor and bestselling author by now. Well…
Instead, I have my bachelor’s degree, am mostly happily married to my best friend, work at a job I love, and teach writing classes occasionally.

Probably either somewhere stormchasing or by myself in one of those huge telescopes.

A world famous author, traveling every month to some new place in the world.

Doing something better than procrastinating on BP. Better grades in school. A lot of stuff.

From other peoples perspective? I'm right where i need to be- still in school btw, and not doing poorly so yeah.

But from the unrealistic expectation i put on myself, I should have written ten bestselling books by now and need to have a job and make money!

The ground. Since I'm not there, I think I'm doing pretty well :)

I was suppose to be a veterinarian, with a successful practice, a husband, and 2 kids, in Kansas. Instead I flunked out of veterinary school, married my military boyfriend, traveled around the US and the world, have 4 kids, and I'm trying to start a new career. It's different, but pretty good.

Rich as hell, and fat. One was right. The other, not so much.
