Sometimes I look at my life, and I look at other peoples lives, and wonder where I went "wrong". My friends are posting wedding pictures, discussing honeymoons and anniversaries and baby planning. The people I have known the longest have husbands and wives and children. Even my baby sister is married. People a few years younger than me are graduating and starting careers. Here I am, 3 semesters from completing requirements to go to school for 3 more years, before I think about a career. 5 months into what is becoming the most amazing relationship of my life so far.
I feel like I've failed in some ways.
But I have to remind myself that I am taking a different path. I have to remind myself, I could be 3 years married this June, and miserable. I could still be that girl I used to be, before I challenged myself, before I put my foot down, before I remembered that I am a person who deserves to be treated decently (at the very least).
I look at my life and where I'm going and I'm excited about it. I feel like each day gets a little bit brighter and lighter, and less reminiscent of that very dark place I came from.
