"Patience child, patience. Remember, life is a journey. If you got everything you wanted all at once there'd be no point to living. Enjoy the ride, and in the end you'll see these "set backs" as giant leaps forward, only you couldn't see the bigger picture in the moment. Remain calm, all is within reach; all you have to do is show up everyday, stay true to your path and you will surely find the treasure you seek."
- Jackson Kiddard, author & polymath.
We live in a generation obsessed with and dependent upon instant gratification, people dont take there time anymore, no one knows what patience is, everyone is always rushing something. I dont know if technology is to blame for this fast paced world we live in or what but I wonder how far is this really gonna take us?
Im 20 years old, and it seems as though all of my peers are rushing something. Everyone is getting married, having children and im not knocking anyones hustle but I cant help but think "well dont you wanna live life a little beore you make those big commitments?". I have a serious boyfriend myself that i would love to marry someday but no time soon. I want to get a degree, travel the world, figure out exactly who I am and what I want. I used to feel like there was something wrong with me because of my peers making these big life changes but now I think differently..
Im learning that its important to just do whatever fits you by your own standards of life. If your 19 and wanna get married then you should be able to do so regardless of societies standards and if your 19 and dont want to get married thats fine too. You should be able to do whatever you want with your life without having to explain for approval.
Ok my rant is over, peace and be lovely
