I attended a work pot luck today. As I was driving home - having been faced with several happily married people with and without children - I realized that I'm really happy with my life. I'm happy with being in school and working with the people I work with. I'm happy not being Miss Social Butterfly, and instead spend a lot of time at home with my cats, my books, and my tv - on my couch, by my computer, in my bed. I'm happy being single and free from children. I'm content with studying a lot and having a few people in my life who really seem to get me.
Realizing this after observing others who have what I really wish for in life, while being on a 3-week-and-counting period, and not having much money or free time, was a true gift. I'm happy with my life, and there are a lot of people who can't say that.
Thanks.
