i do not compare my life to others and i feel that everyone's path is unique. i cannot say that i had a clear vision of what i wanted my life to be like, i always live in the moment. i am grateful for life's blessings but i have been feeling like i want more out of life. i fantasize about what my future could be like sometimes. i will not say that i am unhappy , i simply want more out of living. - idk late night thoughts

Everything in my life was not what I wanted. Until I met my current partner. Now I’m living the life I always wanted & deserved. It was more so about how I wanted to feel about my life rather than what I wanted.

This is a weird 1 for me as i feel I cant say yes , i got my happy ending despite i absolutely love my life rn but its not what i thought i wanted as a teenager for my happy ending… I wanted a successful career where i could move across the world and ‘make it’ at something. But that career fell apart as i tried to force it and i reevaluated my life after i got married and watched my parents divorce and realised the house, the car, the kids when you have a great partner and support is such a lovely life! I do want to be able to achieve things still, but while im raising young kids, im kind of OK that ppl younger than me are excelling at their careers much faster and overtaking me (my low salary is a pain as i switched careers late at 30 and was slow when i returned after mat leave, but i think it will get better as children get independent)

I’d say yes, for sure. I often take a moment to pause and reflect how I am walking in answered prayers. My younger self would be pleased, I think! I completed my degree that I always wanted, got married to my best friend, work in my respective field in science and have 2 little babes. And my credit is really good lol Now everything ebbs and flows and I’d argue that the happy ending is a mindset because God forbid if something happened to my job, or anything else, I believe I’d still feel at peace because of the stability I have within the heart of my marriage. All of which equates a “happy ending” took a lot of intentionality and work but completely worth it

Honestly all I care about is bringing up my boys to be decent human beings. I give up on myself I’ve been through too much

I said somewhat because I think we're on our way there. But I'm not even sure what my happy ending is haha. I do love my life and have a lot to be grateful for. My husband, kids, home, etc. I'm glad I get to be a sahm but I don't think that's my forever gig and I need to figure out what I want for myself with the rest of my life.
