Well that's how I feel. It's whirling all around, all kinds of activity, and yet I can only watch. And wish.
Something. Something's just not right. Somehow I'm super busy, working my way up the corporate ladder, not out of pure ambition (although ambition certainly plays a part) but mostly out of boredom. For some reason, I still manage to have absolutely nothing to talk about or to show for it.
Maybe it's just that I'm on the wrong ride.
"Oh, Heather, you and Thomas are thinking of trying for a baby this Spring? How wonderful! Have you started taking the pre-natal vitamins? I took them at night so I didn't get nauseated..."
"So, how are the wedding plans coming? Ohh, I bet it'll just be BEAUTIFUL. We're all so excited to come. It's the 15 day countdown, what all do you have left on your list to do..."
"Stephanie, expecting again! What great news! What do you think it'll be this time? Another girl? It's so funny how Josh knew before you did. Yes, we'll be praying for a healthy pregnancy..."
"And Kara...uhhh....so, how's [insert company name here]? Oh yeah? That's good. Wow, a promotion, huh? Good.....good. Um, need something else to drink?"

What goes up, must come down.
Believe in yourself. You look and sound beautiful. Great days will come. A lucky man will find you and to both of you it will suddenly seem as if everything has finally clicked into place. In the meantime believe in yourself. You don't have to be like everybody else.
Okay, I admit, I was the first of all my friends to get married, thus setting a trend, so to speak. However, now all of them are popping out babies left right and centre, and they're moving on with their lives while I play Auntie Jeopardy--one had her 3rd kid on Friday. I guess maybe the point is, everyone's path is different. It starts differently, it gets to different points at different times, and yet, we all struggle with the "am I normals?". You're normal, kiddo. Be happy that you DON'T have to compromise at every step with someone who may or may not get you all the time. Be content that you can pick up and go out with the girls without reference to someone else's schedule. You have friends, you have family, you're not really alone, it just feels that way.
And there's always someone who adores you and thinks of you, even when he's far, far away. 'nuff said.
