I am not complaining as I love my life, (however sometimes I do not feel old enough to be ALL these things)! I have had my teenage daughter look at my outfits sometimes & say you look like a mom! Hmm, I always wonder if this is a good or a bad thing so sometimes I change my outfit & than she will tell me I look like a mom trying too hard to NOT look like a mom...I once told her I just don't want to look like an old married mom, to which she replied, "Well, you ARE an old married mom"! Whoever said truth hurts was so right on.
I start to remember all the cliché’s we laughed at when we were younger & realize no matter how much we laughed at them they are TRUE!
For example the one that says you aren’t really settled into who you are & comfortable with it until your 40’s. I for one believe this. I didn’t back when I was told this, I thought, “I already know who I am…” I was wrong! I am quickly approaching 42 & I am finally content. I think that is truly all we can really hope for in life is to be content. The rest are just added bonuses.
I look back on all my experiences & realize each one of them has made me who I am & I am really happy with that. I am finally secure with myself, who I am, what I am & what I have accomplished.
Life is not easy there is no manual, you have to learn as you go & that is the key point…don’t regret what you’ve done or where you have been so long as you have learned & taken a little more knowledge with you from those experiences. They have all formed the person you are today & if you are happy with that person than be thankful that you learned what you were supposed to from each journey/path you chose.
