Yesterday I stumbled on a really interesting blog called Confessions of an Imperfect Life written by Katie Devine. She's in her mid-thirties and her life looks nothing like what she thought it would. It got me thinking a bit.
My life is not anywhere near perfect.
I'm about to turn 37 and I'm no where near getting married. I walked away from a good paying job because I felt really trapped. I'm pretty sure I'm having a mid-life crisis.
All that being said, I wouldn't trade my life in.
Once upon a time I had a job I really liked. I was excited to get up on Monday morning and go to work. I eventually out grew that job and moved up. I left that job and I feel free. I don't love what I do these days but I have rediscovered what it's like to feel free and I will not trade this feeling.
As I often tell one of my friends, when we are old and sitting around at the Legion we are going to talk about this moment. My life is full of stuff like that. Some of them are big moments, some of them are small moments but they are all noteworthy moments.
I don't know where my life is going and in a way I really don't care. It's ok to not have a plan. It's ok not to know the future. It's ok to wake up and say maybe today everything is going to take a big left turn or maybe it won't. I'm liking that about my life.
I've lost over 30 pounds in the last year. It helped me realize that I can shape my life to what I want. It reinforced that I have control of my life and if I want to change it I can. That's really exciting.
My life is not perfect but nobody's is and I wouldn't trade my imperfect life full of great friends, wonderful family, and epic moments for anyone else's.
