Next summer, two close friends, my little sister, and a cousin are getting married. What are people you know doing that remind you that you have flunked at life?

People who have actual careers or even career goals.

@Osteo: the same. Basically anyone who has been making major changes, when I've lived in the same place and had the same job for years and years.

My aunt recently said she was proud of me for reasons completely unexpected, though. It kind of blew me away.

wait, to each other?

I can't imagine what its like to live in a marriage with one of your relatives, since its hard enough to deal with them as it is.

Hehe.

I actually accomplished things that I never thought I would, but I am always envious of people who have actual career goals and are making strides to achieve them. I am the consummate underachiever.

I don't feel I've flunked yet because I am still hopeful that I will accomplish them all when the time is right in my life.

Sure, there are tons of times where I have to hide anyone on my facebook friends list when they talk about how great their husband, kid, life, etc is... but I eventually get over it because I believe strongly that I will get there someday.

As someone once told me, you only fail when you stop trying. And I guess there's something to be said for not trying hard enough, but I do know that I haven't given up just yet.

But dammit do I feel like shit whenever I hear 21-year-olds (like my sister-in-law) talking about grad school! hehe

Wow, I never thought that demotivation can look so beautiful.
