No Two are the Same

I had a discussion this evening with a good friend, ok, fine, so it was Logan. Well we were talking about how different life is for different people. Logan has a sister who is my age and she just barely had her fourth child and has been married for years. My life is so different from hers, not better or worse, just different.

So we talked about how odd it is to think that people my age that I know lead such different lives from me. To think I could be married with a couple kids seems so odd to me. Maybe because I know what I would have missed and can't imagine what that different life would have been like. Not to say that things would have been bad because I am sure that I would have loved it. It is just odd that things are so different for different people.

Sometimes I wish that my life would have been different, that I was married with kids and in a much different place, but I know that this is where I am supposed to be. I am really enjoying where my life is. The crazy fun that I have with friends and the friends that I have are great blessings to me. All bring great things to my life and I know I am better because of them.

Our journey's are different. Different from even your own families. Logan and I both talked about how our siblings (younger and older) are married with families and how differently we feel about it. While he is content and it isn't so much an issue with it, not that he doesn't want to get married and have a family of his own, because he does, It is harder for me with my family. Maybe because I don't see them as much and when I do it is hard. I feel the solitude more. I love where I am and have the hardest time when I am at home. Maybe that is why being home is hard for me.

Take a moment today to think about how different your life could be and be grateful that you are where you are. And remember not to measure your life to anyone elses. Your journey is not going to be the same as anyone elses. Love who and where you are, knowing that you are where you need to be.
