If we are honest, we all have the tendency to compare ourselves with those around us. Particularly our peers. I find myself stuck in this mentality every now and again and have to consciously remind myself that I am my own person and while the things my friends have done might be great and wonderful, I am not them. It's easy for me to lose my contentment when I look at how little I've traveled (especially compared to some of my friends) or the degrees that I don't have (compared to others). But the problem with this is the fact that I am comparing myself to others, which inevitably leads to unhappiness.
My journey this far has been a little strange to some. I am taking a while to getting around to doing some of the things on my list. Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself that life is NOT passing me by and I'm not old yet. ;) But when I write my story (or book) I will be able to say that "I did it my way". And that's part of what makes it my story.
