all my ducks,

Are not in a row, and needless to say they are becoming rowdy.

Did you ever as a child think "When I'm (insert reasonable sounding age here) I'll be married, stable in a career of my choice and own a house." ?? I did, and now that I'm approaching my reasonable sounding age of 26 and I have none of those things I'm left thinking, well now what?

I'm closer than some people, I've finished school and started (slowly but surely) down my career path but I live at home and have no significant other to speak of (that's not really an issue, its just yet another thing that I thought I'd have figured out by now).

I mean when my grandmother was my age she was raising 4 children, holding down a job and generally just being remarkable. On my 17th birthday she called me to tell me that at my age she was pregnant with my mother, the times have definitely changed.

All this being said, I wouldn't change a thing about how my life has played out, I might however go back in time and tell the child me to quit day dreaming so much and focus on the now, because I've realized over the past year that the now is what really matters.
