My life has been a little hectic lately. Can you tell by the fact that I haven't written in this blog in awhile? Life sometimes just runs away with me and I forget to do things.
Okay, that's a lie.
I don't forget to do anything. I just have very bad planning skills. I could sit down and write a blog entry but instead, I'm tooling around YouTube watching Mass Effect videos. Not that there's ANYTHING wrong with Mass Effect (I love that series!) but I could be doing much more productive things. Sometimes I think my inability to plan ahead is the reason why I haven't completed all that much in my 25 years of life.
My list of accomplishments aren't as long as I wish they could be. Or what I dreamed them to be at this age when I was in high school. I'm not a published author. I don't have my name listed anywhere in any credits for movies, video games, or tv shows. I haven't done anymore acting.
Sometimes I look at these celebrities who are my age or YOUNGER and wonder what I've done with my life. And it feels like I have accomplished nothing.
I know, I know. First world problems. And there are many people out there who have it worse than I do. I have a college degree, I earn a decent amount of money, I'm married with a place to live with enough room to spread out, I can afford food and I eat out a lot. I have a good family and good friends. I shouldn't complain.
I shouldn't complain. I should just take the time to plan and to accomplish. Time management. I need to master it.
I thought, by the time I was 30, that I'd be a published author, own a home, and be married. None of that happened. Instead I was working a job I hated, living with Mom, and my Dad had just died. Not a good year! So I know how it feels to feel you haven't accomplished anything. Often I still feel that way.
ReplyDeleteI think that's a common thread among humans in general. Most people I've talked to have expressed the same ideas. It takes a relatively self-satisfied person to be content with their progress in life. I think once you are satisfied and feel you can't accomplish anymore, something is wrong. Thanks for the comment, Marla! I appreciate it!
