365 Questions--January 3
The biggest lesson I learned last year
Hmmmm......that's a good question....Well...I would have to say the biggest lesson I learned would be to not compare my life to others. Interesting fact---I am very hard on myself. I work very hard for everything that I have. Because I know how hard I work, I feel like I should be farther along in life if that makes sense. Back in 2016, I took a really hard hit. I had to move back home and kind of start life all over. It was/still is really frustrating for me because of how big a change I had to make. I was working full time and living on my own before. My job wasn't amazing but it had a lot of perks, like good benefits and tuition waivers. I didn't have a lot of extra money but my bills were always paid. Now I have to burn myself out at a job I hate just to make ends meet. So many of my friends are taking big jumps in life like with their careers or starting a family or getting married...all the things that I've been wanting that just haven't happened yet. Another interesting fact...I am VERY impatient. Had it been up to me, I would've been married with 2 kids by now (yeah, crazy I know). So yes, I was a little salty about the hand I was dealt. Especially now with a lot of my friends making HUGE moves in life I really feel like I'm not going anywhere fast. It's like I look back and see how many sacrifices I made and how hard I've worked, but then I look at my life and it just does not add up. I'm nowhere near where I wanted to be at 25, but I had to learn that I'm on this journey for a reason
P.S. This is the 1 time I'm glad I don't have a Youtube channel yet because I cried way too much writing this
"You don't know my story
All the things that I've been through
You can't feel my pain
What I had to go through to get here
You'll never understand my praise
Don't try to figure it out
Because my Worship
My Worship
Is for real"
