Time keeps moving forward. This is a fact that I am very much so aware of... I am not ignorant to the fact that lives progress, that people change, or that it becomes necessary for situations to change. But today I am not enjoying it.
Do you ever feel just a little bit stuck while everyone around you seems to be moving forward? This feeling was particularly brought on today by the following things: a girl I worked with just had a beautiful baby girl, a guy I dated a YEAR AND A HALF ago has a new baby boy, and another guy I dated for a length of time will be getting married soon. Now I'm not resentful of good things happening to people. I'm as happy as can be for them! However, seeing these things causes one to reflect on their own life- and to make comparisons.
These people were all in my same situation when we met. They were students, single, working, and just trying to get by in life. Now these people have had drastic changes: marriage, graduation, children, etc. While I am in exactly the same place I was before: I'm still a student, I'm still working, I have no husband, no children, and I'm just trying to get by in life. It is a bit weird. And some people may say that it is a hint or two of jealousy which drives me to say: didn't anyone get the memo? Things really aren't supposed to change. (Not without me getting to change as well.)

Don't worry, I got the memo, too.
I'm 2 years ahead of you and still in the same boat you're in...boo.
Dude it so sucks. I went three years without much actual change and sat back watching everyone around me date, marry, have kids, etc. and cried all the freaking time. It's okay to be a bit jealous of other people but remember your life has something fabulous to offer you it's just taking a lot longer to put it together (so it's bound to be better than anyone elses)
