Feeling Left Out
At my age, most people are finishing college, maybe dating between party hook-ups, and holding quite an unsteady temp job.
Or they are working full time, not caring about school, enjoying their weekends with millions of friends, living the single life or shacked up with their unmarried significant other.
Or they are like all of my close friends: community college flunkies, getting knocked up, getting married but still living at home with mom, working odd night-time jobs, scrounging up every last penny, but completely <em>happy</em>.
Which leaves me where? Sitting at home, working full time to afford to attend night, weekend, and online courses at the local community college, renting a small house with my boyfriend, literally miles away from everyone I know, taking care of two cats…I have everything my friends are lacking - the house, the job, the security of the two combined - while they have everything I want - the joy, the husband, the close family, the children…the garanteed future.
I know life isn’t fair. But…does it have to be rubbed it in my face?
