Living in 2022 in My Late 20s

It is not what I imagined.

Growing up, I thought I would be married by now. At least engaged. Maybe contemplating kids right now? Living in the house of my dreams, traveling occasionally, and living life to the fullest.

None of this happened. And now I am navigating around this life I never imagined. Living through a pandemic that still plagues us. This means, no traveling, gas that costs way too much — which also includes everything else I buy that has become more expensive (WTF). And don’t even get me started on the real estate market…

I am 28 but feel like I am still 25. Mainly because I am still just figuring my shit out.

I recently found myself struggling with this. Not having the things and experiences I thought I would have by now.

But then I looked at my life. I live in a beautiful apartment, with the man of my dreams and our two cats. I have a career that I love, with a side gig where I get to empower others to crush their goals on a bike that goes absolutely nowhere. I get to snuggle the two most beautiful nephews I could have ever imagined (twin boys), and I have some of the best friends a girl could as for. And that’s just some of it. I have this beautiful life, yet I still get down thinking about where I thought I’d be.

You know what I say to that? Who. F*cking. Cares.

My life is still so beautiful and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Just because it didn’t go exactly as planned? Who. F*cking. Cares. If you find yourself in this same boat, take a deep breath and say it out loud, Who. F*cking. Cares!

And the best part about this? Life is not over! At least, at the moment (thank you God for allowing me more time on this Earth). Just because the things you pictured haven’t happened, doesn’t mean they won’t! And if it doesn’t, it wasn’t for you. Trust the process and I promise you won’t be disappointed.
