Coasting through life

I was talking to a friend today and I realized that it's not that things in my life are going wrong, but it feels like things in my life aren't going right either. I am coasting through life. I realize that only I can make something happen, but what if I don't even know the direction to move in?

Is this just the norm at this stage in our life? I'm five years out of college/in the career world and I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. The majority of my college friends are married. Some of them are either looking or already living in their second home. Some of them are talking about kids or currently pregnant, while others already have two children! I am still single and wasting money by paying rent. I see no reason to buy a place when I don't even know where I want to be.

I love living in Chicago and being able to do whatever I want, whenever I want but I feel like I'm so behind in the game of life, compared to all of my friends. I also realize it's not smart to compare yourself....

So anyway, I'm not sure about the goal for this post, but hey! This is my second post this week! I'm impressed with myself. And the blog title is Milestones and Meltdowns and it appears this is a meltdown! :)

  1. Think of it this way...you have the freedom to visit or move wherever you want to, whenever you want to without worrying about other people or selling a property. It sounds like you now have a pretty good idea what you want to do with your career. You live in a city in which most 27 year olds probably aren't married (I don't think KS is the norm). You're not behind, you're just taking a different path!
