A New Beginning

There have been many times I have asked myself if this is the life I want. My answer? No. I always thought life would turn out so differently. I am sure everyone does but I never thought at 26 I would be so alone. I pictured myself married with kids by now. My sister and brother were and did before they hit 25. Granted, both are divorced but that is not my point. I just thought my life would be more settled. I have a great job and I am extremely grateful for every opportunity it has given me. My family is dysfunctional but still amazing. I have a few great friends but I still feel so empty. I guess I never felt completely whole. I always wonder what life could have been if I would have done this or that but then remind myself I shouldn’t focus on the regrets. But don’t we do that anyway? So here I am, writing a blog about whatever comes to my mind. My therapist thinks this will be good a way to express my feelings. I decided to share it with the world just in case it might help someone in my same position. So get ready for the random!
