Sep. 22nd, 2017 02:19 amI'm in a weird place this evening.
Lately, whenever I speak to people with 'normal' lives (9-5 jobs, spouses, kids, a mortgage,etc.) I feel like a Martian. Like I'm out of touch and out of step and I find myself wondering if the choices I've made in my life have been mistakes? Maybe I should have kept working for the fedgov? Maybe I should have stayed in Alaska? Maybe I should have gotten married and had kids and gotten a mortgage?
But then the more I think about it, the more I realize that I pretty much like my life. I have a job that I generally enjoy. I have a small circle of friends that I don't find onerous to be around and who I hope feel the same about me. I've done what I wanted, gone where I've wanted, been with who I've wanted.
All in all, I'm living the life a lot of people wish that they had.
I suppose it's just a case of 'the grass is always greener on t'other side of the fence.'
But, really, the grass on this side is pretty damn green too.
