But I do appreciate where I am on my good days. Which is saying something, I guess. Sometimes I feel so much OLDER than I am, and kinda pissed that other people haven't experienced as much as I have at a young age. AH WELL, I hear that our 30s are the new 20s, eh? Ha ha.

I'm the 24 year old with a stable job, two kids, and going to school. My best friend is 22, just moved in with the love of her life and is about to gget her bachelors. The other best friend is 24 and the epitome of a party girl. Three very different people at 3 very different stages in life, yet we somehow manage to relate. I often tell my bff that if I was in her place, (no kids...no need for an actual job) I'd be studying abroad or living in New York or doing something else fabulous with my life. I do feel like I'm missing out on traveling but it's ok because I'll get to do that in my 40s with (hopefully) a much different perspective on life.

Maybe it's the hormones talking. Or the fact that I'm easily out of my teens before I know it. *sighs* I’m turning 20 this april and I’m feeling a little bit more fleeting than before.

Its funny how people in their 20's can be in SUCH different places and it still all makes sense and no one judges you. I definitely always do the grass-is-greener runaround. Even though I am extremely happy with my life I look at everyone around me and wonder what else I could be doing. Here's to hoping we figure it out. Keep on blogging and let me know if you figure it out ;0) Wow, that was SO well put.

I was right there at the verge of makin' babies and having a family and now it feels like I'm back at square one - renting and working multiple jobs (granted they're jobs I enjoy and had before, but still). Plus, where did these socialital "norms" come from - just cause everyone else is doing it doesn't mean that its right for you. I think everyone feels this way at one point or another.

I feel like you often. There is always going to be something we can't have. I chose a demanding, fulfilling career so I have to give up being the perfect homemaker. I want to keep my job and my hobbies, so I have to put off going back for my master's for a little while. It's hard to make those choices sometimes, but I think you've got the right idea--be grateful for what we've got! I think you’ve described really accurately what your 20′s are like.

I’ve learned to be grateful for my little quirks and oddities. Sure, there are things I want to improve about myself, but most days, I wake up, and I think, 'Hey friend…I kinda like you!'" I LOVED this! It sums me up perfectly...and I think I was down on this fact before I read this blog post. I am boring. People have told me I'm boring. I'm super low-key and quiet. But that's OK. Wow, I think you've just given me something to blog about today! :) Thanks! “I’ve accepted the fact that I’m kind of boring and that I need a lot of time alone to recharge.

And I love that You've Got Mail quote. It really sums things up. I often wonder if I'll always be wondering what else is out there. I soooooooooooooo relate to this post.
