A house, two cars, a healthy relationship ,a career, livable wage, 2.5 kids, a dog. ya know, the expectation many children were told in school.

Everything I hear on social media says this is a myth.

    1. ❌ Didn’t find out I was gay until my late 20s, so now I’m starting from scratch on the dating front. At least I wasn’t in a committed relationship or tied down with kids.
    2. ❌ Finished college at 27, so my career’s behind schedule.
    3. ❌ Stuck in apartment living for at least another few years.
    4. 👍 Got a dog just last weekend, she’s adorable!
    5. 👍 My job pays well for where I live, and I never work over 40 hours.
    6. 🤷‍♀️ I was able to trade in my beater and get a practically new car (previous owner leased and it’s got 15k miles), but now I’ve got a car loan again.
    7. 👍 Recently moved to the city of my dreams.
    8. ❌ Have no friends.
    9. 👍 I can finally afford hobbies and have time to meet people.

    It’s going, but this certainly isn’t what I expected of my 30s.
