I lost my dad three years ago to cancer. It's still sad knowing he died at a very young age, but I've grown to accept that death is a part of life.
So let's put that aside. This post is not about my dad.
Three years have passed. THREE YEARS. And where am I? I'm still in the same place! A college dropout, working for a living, and still 70lbs overweight. Argh!
Visiting dad today wasn't a totally sad thing (like last year or the year before). But it was definitely a reality check. I need to get going. My life is being wasted before my eyes. I have dreams that I want to make a reality: graduate from college, start a career, raise a family. That good old American dream.
Are you living your life the way you envisioned it to be?
I'm living my life with you, and yeah, that's the way I envisioned it to be.
ReplyDeleteyou are somehow in the process of getting the "family" dream done. but of course you want to feel some type of self accomplishment. i totally get you. but you are still moving somewhere, you joined the gym again which is a step to your goal. years go by so fast and it doesn't mean we have to rush to get all our dreams fulfilled. i know so much for "live each day as if it were your last" but if you move too fast you might miss some small important details.
