A few days ago it was my birthday and I turned 27 that’s only
three years off 30 which is three decades which is rather a long time. It got
me thinking about what I have and haven’t achieved with my life and I came to
realise that by traditional society views I’m somewhat of a failure.
- I don’t have a husband or even a boyfriend and have only actually ever had one serious relationship
- I don’t have children
- I don’t have a job let alone a career
- I don’t have any useful skills or qualifications, I dint even finish high school
- I don’t own property, a car or furniture. basically I have no assets and almost no material possessions
Good thing for me I’ve never been one to run with the crowd
and the things I do have and have accomplished are far more valuable to me than
any of the above
- I have travelled the world seeing about 60 countries along the way
- I have been privileged enough to live in different countries and experience different styles of living
- I have a loving supporting family (even if I do hardly ever see them because I’m gallivanting off somewhere)
- I have amazing beautiful friends all over the world
- I have freedom to be where I want when I want without the structure of a working life
- I have learnt far more from the people I have met and places I have visited than I ever could have learnt in school
- I’m not tied down to a place or things and as I have less I appreciate what I do own so much more.
- I have excellent health
All in all I love my life I love my lifestyle I love the opportunities
I have been given and the experiences I have had I love the people I have met
and I love the places I have been I love learning and loving and living and for
the foreseeable future I think I’m happy to continue failing at life.
