Guess I was meant to read this because for the past few months walking into work left me with the thought of if this is actually what I’m meant to be doing. So thanks for saying the quiet part out loud. <3

At some point I think everyone feels this at least once in their life. It's got to be a sign that we are constantly growing and evolving as people to realize sometimes we outgrow things. Thanks so much for reading and relating

Thanks for a great read. I needed this. I’m entering my mid 20s and I think I’m more lost than ever.

I should remember to look this over occasionally. Maybe it'll help if I look over some of these again in the future.

I believe you’re better off working and being happy and what you’re doing in life,

instead of doing something to make more money

over your happiness Either way it’s a sacrifice.

Did you know that

9 million people have already moved out of this country 🇺🇸

Once my contract is finished on the property that I

Closed on.

I literally Had to get a restraining order from Superior Court to stop

them from trying to auction it off,

I had the money to close on it for over a year, with a realtor and attorney

because of my state law’s

you need one should only took a couple months at the most.

tied up in probate court over a year

the bank just tried stealing the equity in her estate after playing games for 3+ years I got a $50,000 HOA grant to reinstate the mortgage after jumping through a hoops over a year of applying,receiving doing all the requirements then they send the money back. it’s been one big nightmare because I did the probate myself.

I still got got the title they added a $20,000 restoration fee

After holding the title hostage for 4+ years.

I don’t even know how all it’s legal but it’s finally over with. I just gotta get a headstone for my mother and brother still.

As a teacher myself, I strive to always support and remind my students the life they are living is exactly that, their own life. To many times have I had discussions with my juniors and seniors regarding what you just described. Parents and family members telling them their dreams and aspirations were out of reach or out of touch. One of the greatest wrongs one human being and commit is robbing another human being of their desires and dreams. I will always combat these wrongs whenever and however I can for my students. Thank you for a very interesting and captivating read!

Definitely needed to hear this today. I’ve been feeling misaligned lately and a lot of it comes from having to do the hard things in order to get to where you want to be. The process isn’t always romantic and it’s definitely not linear, but you just have to remember to keep going in the direction that brings you to your ultimate destination.
