Your life up 'til now...how good? How bad?

In My Humble Opinion
21

I’d say about 70% good, 30% bad. Things seem to go from one extream to another.

Pretty happy childhood. With one or two blips.

Things wern’t too great about aged 15. But I’d rather not get into that.

Aged 16 early 17 I was having a great time. Started sixth form. Lost loads of weight and got a new look. People who i didn’t know suddenly knew my name even though i didn’t know theirs, which was cool. But it was a little wierd when they took an interest in my love life.

Things took a down turn at mid - 17. I got used and dumped which affected me quite badly. Then a friend and I fell for each other, but i didn’t want a relationship. So that caused months of problems.

18 - Started dateing the friend. Things to an up turn.

19 - Still dateing the guy. At university and having a great time. I’m not a fan of the long distance relatinship thing though. (He’s at uni too, only, somewhere else.)

I’d say my life is 99% awesome:

Great spouse (28 yrs married, 32 yrs together)
Great kids (both in grad school),
Good jobs (but the co-workers suck, that’s the 1% bad),
Lots of vacation (3+ months/year),
Extended family crazy (but that’s typical isn’t it, and good for comic relief)

My only regret is that I worried way more than I should have. Even the occasional bad shit we encountered worked out ok in the end: Afterwards we always seemed to end up in a better place than where we started before the bad shit happened. And it was usually an unexpected place that we would not have chosen if the relatively bad things hadn’t happened to move us onto that other path.

Like PictsiePat, I’m going with 99% awesome. On a scale of one to awesome, my life is super great!

I would have to say my life has pretty much turned out the way I made it, if not necessarily the way I hoped it would be. I made a lot of decisions I would make again, even knowing how things turned out after the fact. Those were the decisions made in good faith.

I made a few decisions I really wish I could take back. I learned some fairly necessary things the hard way.

I like who I am now, more or less. I am where I put myself, more or less. There are things in my life I don’t like, but I am working to fix them. So, overall, I have to be content with my portion.

I do regret not having a SO to share it all with, but I have this theory that I will meet Mr. Right when I have learned the lessons the Universe has deemed necessary for me to understand. Coles notes, anyone?
