So, here's the thing about my life. I am a smart woman, attending university. I am a writer and editor for a literary journal, and have a lot of very smart, cool friends. Here's the problem, they're all leading very exciting lives, and I'm... not. So, here's what's going on...
List of closest friends and what they're up to:
Akila: A marine, just found out she's going to be stationed in Okinawa, Japan.
Leanna: Living with her boyfriend of 3 years and they're thinking about maybe getting engaged.
Elisabeth: Just got engaged to her boyfriend of 6 years.
Arri: Just got a bunch of grant money to continue her work in the music department of our university.
Kim: Just moved to California to go to another school and is thriving there, and much happier than she was here.
Angela: Finally moved back to her beloved Texas and is thriving at her new school there, and happier there than she was here.
Alex: Moved to Florida for his new job at Disney World, and is so happy he barely has time for anything but his cool new life.
Those are all my closest friends. Now allow me to tell you about me.
I technically have a job, but it doesn't pay. Yes, I write and edit for the journal, however, they are a non-profit organization, so I get no money, at all. I can't find a good paying job that will allow me to continue to work for the journal. So, there's that current dilemma. So, because I'm not making money right now, I live with my parents again because rent was ridiculous. I do not currently have a boyfriend, or even a guy I have my eye on. 100% single over here.
So, here I am. 21, single, living with parents, no real job. I'm such a catch! crying
I'm so happy for my friends! They're moving to cool places, getting great jobs, falling in love, finding what they want to do in life. However, the fact that I'm sitting here feeling like my life will never start has me a bit down. I have many wonderful things in my life, I have all these friends I can still talk to thanks to modern technology, I have a family that loves me, my parents LET me live with them (Some parents don't let their kids come back after they leave), and I am a published writer.
Does anyone else feel this way? Can anyone understand what I'm going through? I'm happy for my friends, but a little down about myself. Help? sweatdrop
