I came across an interesting post on Instagram the other day from “Psychological warfare”.
“If you’ve experienced marriage, you’ll probably never understand your 50-plus-year-old uncle who never married”.
You might even think he’s the idiot but, think again!
It made me laugh because there’s is so much truth in it!
I am kind of an idiot but, I kind of think some of you might be too!!
I chose a different path—one filled with relocations, career opportunities, solo travel, and eventually a life of freedom and exploration.
People tend to focus on how society expects you to life your life!
If you don’t fit in their box, you’re an idiot!
I’ve also never tasted “real marriage”, but I’ve come close enough to consider myself a self-proclaimed expert.
Then again… It’s my blog.
I get to make the rules. 😁
The ironic part is that many of the people making comments have challenges in their own lives.
Yet somehow, they still find the time to focus on my life.
I guess that makes them feel better about their own issues.
Instead of understanding why someone chose a different path, it’s easier to criticize it.
I’m learning to step away.
At the end of the day, I’m the one who has to live my life—not them.
I seem to be happiest when I’m simply trying to live life to my fullest, tuning out the critics, and resisting the urge to compare myself to people who think they’re “normal.”
The truth is, there really isn’t a normal even if people try to put you down.
Most of us are just figuring it out as we go.
