Confession

L_Woods

I was very sad the other day, and didn't really post because I realized that during my time here most of you have gotten married and started having children. You've also grown and changed careers, gone back to school, etc. I'm still unmarried, n(y)e, and childless. I know I'm not ready to be any of those things, and I'm generally very happy with my life currently, but it depressed me for a day.

L, you've got a career, a great guy and a good life. There is nothing to be depressed about. You neglected to list that some of us have divorced, had problems TTC and other trials and tribulations.

Nothing is sunshine and roses and you've got a lot going for you. You're awesome.

**Stinky!**

I think that's natural, whether it's with people on a message board, or IRL.

Confession: Some of the anxiety and frustration I hear on here about TTC, being pregnant, birthing kids, and then taking care of said kids makes me SO thankful I don't have any. But there are times when I feel that little pinch in my ovary saying, "Eh? Want one?"

Don't feel bad, I think we all get those thoughts from time to time no matter what stage in life we are.

I think we all feel like our lives suck from time to time.  Congrats; you're normal!  Oh, and awesome!

True, TT, very true. I also didn't mention that I broke an engagement, had a quarter life crisis, and took a career 180. But, it's right that my life is pretty damn good. Like I said, I'm usually happy about it, but it got to me one day.

Confession: I feel the same way when people have house that they own and the baby stuff. I feel like I should be further along by now, but know it is because I married a younger man, who is a student. My bag.

L, i recently overheard 2 coworkers talking abut how much they miss being single, and what wonderful lives they had before they started to have kids. One of the women had gone out the night before to some book signing and claimed to have the best time being on her own, and she missed it.

the point is, there's always going to be something we envy in someone else's life. there is always also something we're going to complain about in our own lives. it's human nature IMO. but the fact is, just like TT said, it's not always roses and sunshine no matter how things.

 

that said, I totally understand. i wouldn't feel bad about feeling bad if i were you. everyone is entitled to their sad little pity party every now and then if you ask me.

L, I could have written this myself. It doesn't keep me from posting, but I think, "Wow! I've been on The Knot for years, and I'm still single."

OTOH, not everybody's life is peaches and cream (well, nobody but Laurentian's is, and hers is more raspberries and chlorinated water) so yes, you may not have the same things going on that everybody else does, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
