In college, my friends...I'm not a dreamer, either. In college, my friends all knew what they wanted to be -- teachers, scientists, musicians. I couldn't decide, so I went to work for Big Bad Corporate America while I figured it out.<br /><br />The thing is, while I was figuring it out, I got good at the job. And I met the Jellyman, and I had babies who are delightful and exhausting and hilarious and horrible.<br /><br />And my friends all want to be me -- the single ones want to be married, the married ones are struggling with infertility and want desperately to be parents.<br /><br />I still envy their ambition and their ability to combine who they are with what they do -- I still hope for that someday. But, though it sounds horrible, it makes me feel way better about my life choices to know that they're a teeny bit jealous of me.<br /><br />Even though your life doesn't look like the picture you had, it probably still looks pretty good from a distance. Can you step back a little and see it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
