Life in our 20s : Expectations , Uncertainities , Failures

By the time I was in high school I had all my life mapped out. I even wrote it down, like what age I would have my first car, what age I would get married, what age I would have my first baby. Well, that was me, always planning things out, always trying to get ahead of time.

Seven Years Later

7 years later, and none of the mapped-out events have happened. Life has so many ways of proving us wrong. I don't have any regrets because my mindset on how I view things has changed over the years. Am currently taking one day at a time, hoping that each coming day is better than the other days.

Life has so many ways of proving us wrong.

 

Do I still map out my life? 

 If you thought I would say no then you are wrong, I still do. It's a habit I can't stop, having plans make me sane. I just can't live without doing that. What has changed is that it doesn't pressure me anymore. I do plan and believe that it would happen but if it doesn't I take the lessons and find ways to make it happen.

What has changed?

I am more optimistic at this point in my life than I have been at any other point in my life. Yes, I still got my fears, have lost some, added some and some fears have managed to survive to date.
