high expectations

When I was younger, I imagined myself being out of my parent’s house and married or at least have a romantic interest in my life at my age now. I haven’t moved out yet, and I don’t have a romantic interest. I thought that I would have a great job that I love. I don’t. Don’t even have a job. I thought that it would be a good idea to hold off on a job and just work on being a designer. I’m not a designer, I’ve lost motivation there, and now I feel so behind on everything.

Everyday I say that I’m going to wake up earlier to better myself and I don’t. I don’t want to wake up anymore, let alone get out of bed. I’ve put these expectations on myself and I’ve disappointed myself time and time again. I haven’t accomplished anything. Will I ever be able to change for good?

Hi 97Bunny11, I agree with pitmama84... It's not that you haven't accomplished anything.

You are in a learning phase right now. Timing is everything. You're still young, but no

matter what age, pieces of the puzzle will fall in place.

It's nice to have wants and needs but until you are ready emotionally, it may not happen

right now.

Life comes with surprises when we least expect it. I will say that you do need to experience

life by getting out more. I don't mean dating, I mean doing something with your life that

will give you the motivation and need to move forward.

Prince Charming usually doesn't knock on the door or make house calls. Find something

you are passionate about and volunteer if anything. Give yourself the chance to see

what is out there just waiting for you.

My best to you. :) xx
