and a shameless hussy, but that’s a post for another day…
Over at The Pioneer Woman Ree posted an entry about changes in plans and invited her readers to post about their own expectations for their lives versus where they actually were. She, as usual, got over 1,600 replies. I didn’t reply there, perfering to post such a thing here at my own blog. Hopefully Ree won’t mind so much!
So, in my early 20s, where did I think I’d be? Living in NY. Doing theater lighting design. Having a fabulous NY style life! Or at least some city somewhere. Definitely not married. Definitely no kids. Carefree and single, that’s what I would be!
And where am I? Belfast, so I got the city part right! Married, to a man I adore. Trying really hard for kids. Not having worked in any theater anywhere for over 10 years and not missing it at all.
So am I disappointed I didn’t get my glamours NY life? Not at all. I am very happy where I am. In my beautiful flat in Belfast, living my maybe not so exciting but very fullfilling city life.
Go read some of the commnts on Ree’s blog. Some will make you smile. Some will break your heart. All of them have something to say.
