am i allowed to be jealous of the people who are my age and sometimes younger, that have the things that i want in life but weary that they will ever happen to me? the babies, the love, the marriage, the house. i don't even know if i want children but the thought of being the only one without terrifies me to no end. i am 28 years old with a path that i should have been on when i was 22. i will be done school with a bachelor's when i am 30 years old. i have dated upwards of 10 people in that time with no prospects of a future with any. this might be inspiring to some, but to me, this is downright laughable and brokenhearted.
