I was just having a conversation about what our expectations are in life..
Damn it.. hard and fast rules.. what we expect to be in life.. what we should know by now (being in our 50s) that we would be at bench marks at specific times in life...
20 - Meeting your partner
25 - Marry, buy home
30 - Have kids, start working on retirement plan
35 - Return to 2 income family, kids in school, chaos returns
40 - Review life, reevaluate life plan
45 - Start planning life changes
50 - .. what the hell is going on?
Who said this is how things are to go? Who said that at a specific age, we should know what is going on or how the path goes? Who tells us that at which point we say.. “honestly, I don’t know what the hell is going on but I’m officially going to just let life guide me and I’ll figure it out as I go”.
I say.... I’m going to stop living life in the box that was defined to me by society and start just being present.. living life and trusting what the hell is going on.
