You shouldn't worry to much. Just always think. "I've outdone Kevin" and you're all good.

You've done more in your life than i've ever done before. So you've done a whole lot more than you give yourself credit for.

Chin up, be happy with what life has given you, because in the end, it could all be worse.

I'd hope you aren't having a midlife crisis, because that would mean you are only going to be 50.

Kevin, putting yourself lower on the totem pole isn't the best strategy either.

Life isn't a race, it's more like an iron man match with the actual length being unknown. Just stay strong and don't rush into anyhing until you know it is the right decision. Don't get married quickly just because you are X years old. As far as school, I'm happy you are going to school, because eventually you will finish. You would never earn a degree f you never went to school to begin with.

Job wise, I can't think of anyone who loves their boss a hundred percent of the time. That's just part of life.

All in all, I think you are doing fine just as you are. Best of luck Vix.

that actually made me smile...but no i wont be using that as a mark of my success. Besides, Kevin...remember our 40 year pact?

and Thank you Serial. I just look at many around me with so much going for them and it's like 'what have I really done?'

It can be demoralizing to see things happening faster to others.

I think you shouldn't concern yourself with things you cannot control; but, rather focus on what you can do to improve your quality of life. As cliche as it sounds, I'm finding that it is true.

God, why does this feel like a PBS brochure? lol

Youre worried about not being married at 25? i know people who got married at 19 and regretted every single minute of it.

Look at the bright side, my mother is going to be 49 and she hasn't been married once lol

Your mother is a smart lady. Marriage is for suckers, especially in an American culture which is predominantly individualistic.

Well she always thought, if shit went south, she could just pack up her crap and go, no point wasting money on a divorce.

But after lets say roughly 27/28 years with my dad.....nothing has went south......yet.

Well maybe that was just a safety net, and not having to worry about divorce has kept them together?

Probably, something worked and well guess they weren't the marrying type lol

U should never compare yourself to your friends, you'll always be sad doing that. I say stop worring about the things you don't have and focus on the things you've got, there's thousands of people wishing they had YOUR life, don't ever forget that. Things could always be worse.

I just feel like the loser of the bunch. about to be 25 and i cant even say 'been there, done that'...i've only been engaged once for a year.

I've got my daughter but it's kinda becoming an annoyance with people giving me 'the look' cause i have a 6 year old. But she's my world.
