DeleteThat question! I ask myself everyday.
ReplyDeleteYou pointed out the lucky few. There are a lot many people thinking exactly like me, thinking, umm well, tearing hair apart.
#LifeSucks
Ah, good to know I have company.
DeleteI asked the same question every morning when I go to work..Dont worry dear..things will pick up soon ;)
ReplyDeleteHopefully :)
Deleteohh blaahhhhhhhh
ReplyDeleteI know right. So much blah.
Delete:) Whatever you are doing, that's the best you should do at this point of life <3
ReplyDeleteThat IS a nice way of looking at it. Thanks, Jane! <3
DeleteOh write, woman! I keep going back to check and nothing is up on the blog :(
DeleteLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis LOL is directed not towards you and your post but towards me. WHATTHEHELLAMIDOINGWITHMYLIFEEEEEEE!
Same boat, love, same boat :D
DeleteLife is a journey. Its not a race where the focus is on reaching those milestones . At times you hit a freeway and cover does milestones in no time and at times we r lost for directions. in the end it's the journey that matters. keep Looking for the freeway and until then enjoy the country roads.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anon. But what if it takes too long to reach the freeway? Wayy longer than you should?
Delete:-) it is a mad race baby....but just bring home that ' Booker' and world will be yours....you are a great writer... :-)
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank you so much <3:)
DeleteWell, you see that person tearing her hair out and running in circles in the opposite direction right? That's me! Hello neighbor! Not a clue what am doing and people around me say I shouldn't be comparing myself to others. :(
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't. Rather we should buck up and start working towards making things better. No?
DeleteThe people in your sample set can take a hike and we can continue drowning in the big sea of self pity that is around us :P :D

Oh sigh. No redemption, then?
DeleteHahahaha, I know how you feel :P
ReplyDeleteVery descriptive label tags btw lol
Heehee, thanks :D
DeleteMind if I join you? *starts running around in circles*
ReplyDeleteMost welcome :D
DeleteI don't have a say 'cause I go through that everyday.
ReplyDeleteAh sigh. Maybe we should stop :/
DeleteIt is hard not to compare your life to others and think that 'where am I going and what am I doing?' Then it may surprise you that others will look up to you and think the same thing. I guess we are all the same :-) Take care
ReplyDeleteThat would make me feel better, someone thinking that about me :)
Deletehahaha....that's a great way to express yourself...i like that!
ReplyDeleteHeehee thanks :)
DeleteWell I gave up a REALLY pretty penny (the kind that pays big loans off), and got myself well a.. cent? Or a nickel. Whatever. As long as there is a party on the weekend, enough alcohol and whatever else goes with it in your system... we are all set man! :D
ReplyDeleteAlso, yeah, don't compare. It sucks. There is ALWAYS going to be someone upping you. :)
And that is why I look up to you... giving that up to do something you love is truly beautiful. Kudos.
Delete:)
ReplyDeleteWhen I have days like these, either I drink, smoke or exercise, read, eat healthy, watch a movie and wake up next day thinking ---- fuck all that ---- my tomorrow will be better than yesterday! And I make sure I shop or eat waffles with hot nutella to uplift my mood!
We never know if materials do bring happiness to those who own them. I have earned enough in past two years, yet I have no idea what I am "actually" after. xD
Also. Hello. Long time.
Look who's back!! :):) Welcome, we missed you around here.
DeleteYou've sent me into a circular thought process where I am trying to work out what would actually make me happy.
A lot of my friends are married and have kids too and yes I think that this post is being pointed at me. JUST REALIZED WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE. People are making billions and I am busy tweeting and facebooking and instagramming. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan I neeed to wake up!
ReplyDeleteWake up and win the world with your social presence, that's what you should do :D:)
DeleteI would say 'do not compare'. Sometimes its impossible to do that. But nothing is permanent in life. Neither yours nor theirs. Life can make huuuugggeeee changes in you or in the situation at any time, as I see it. So, be ready! :)
ReplyDeleteA nice way to look at it, thanks :)
