Where did my life go?

I understand where you are coming from, you are young and you do have time to change the way your life is going, I am an old woman a grandmother. I do wonder where my life has gone, my children are grown, I spent my whole young adult life caring for them (working), I was a single mom. I missed out on a lot, I have no regrets, I was and I am still blessed, even though I lost my job recently. I just had a conversation with my daughter about how I wished I would have done some of the things I wanted to do when I had the chance, I wished I had bought some of the things I desired when I had a chance. Now I can't do anything but sit here and pinch pennies because society had taken everything from me. My retirement money was lost when the company I worked at for 24 years went bankrupt, the next company I worked for closed, now they are,,, not me (THEY) ARE dipping into the little 401k that I have. I am say my dear please take the time to stop think and to change your lifestyle to what will help and make you happy. I admire my daughter, you better believe she is living the good life. She has her difficult and hard times, sometime down some time up. But she is doing great. Also the twins she is doing a good job with them too. God Bless You.

No, it's not just you. I also feel the same way sometimes. But you just have to get out of this rut and look into yourself and ask what you really want to do. Then when you get an answer -- or something close to a definite one -- find a way to realize what you really want out of your life. Y'know sometimes life is not really fair. And you cannot always get what you want. But I think it's the perspective that differentiates us from one another. You see you just have to make the most of what you have, and take each day one step at a time to realize your dreams. These dreams may not be monumental or colossal, but at least getting them would make you less depressed and more positive in your outlook. You're still young. You have a long way to go. Don't think that you are stuck in the situation you are in right now. You have the power within you to go where you want to go. Nurture that power and enjoy life. Good luck!

I feel the same way all the time. I am twenty seven years old and I have four kids. I don't currently work so I sit at home with the kids all day while my husband works. It has been the same way for the last three years. I am ready for a change. So I have been looking for a job.

I am 31, and I ask myself this question every day...

hi, cheer up. i feel the same to, these days, i often question myself like this, not content with what i have achieved. but have to warn and comfort myself by telling me " look at those who are less fortunate", then my spirit lights up.
