I didn’t think I would be at this stage of my life

Oh how I thought things would be different when I was 20 years old. Like I thought at 29 I would be living in the City and maybe have a boyfriend. But at 29 I do have a boyfriend but I’m no where close to moving out. It feels like the expectations that I had when I was younger never came through but I find that ok still! Things happened so it didn’t work out how I planned but at the same time without all those events I wouldn’t be the person I today! I do plan to hopefully move out in a few years but I just wanted to mention that it’s ok if plans don’t work out how you originally thought it would!! #GirlTalk #lemon8challenge #itsok #notmeetingexpectation #lifehappens

Exactly what you said. Things happen. Life is messy and beautiful all at the same time. Enjoy the time home as it is truly a blessing. Not everyone has that support system to fall back on.
