without regrets.

via

somedays i think about where i could be in life...

i think about the things i "should have done".

i would be a completely different person if that were the case.

i've always lived my life without regret.

it's kind of been a moto of mine...
to live without regrets.

i feel like i've lived life to it's fullest so far.

and i'm so happy i have.

i love who i am and where i'm headed.

i'm so happy to have the people in my life that i do.

especially my husband.

we've both worked so hard to be where we are.

and with that said, 

it doesn't mean that i don't get frustrated, sad, discouraged...

because i do.

i see other people who are my age & people who are younger

and sometimes can't help but be frustrated, sad or discouraged at the idea of

where they are in their lives already.

while my friends were off getting
husbands
&
degrees
&
having kids
&
buying homes
&
starting careers...

i was figuring out how to make it through the next day.

so yes.
sometimes i want to sit down and cry when i see
all the things others have accomplished at such young ages.
it can be discouraging.
it can make me lose sight of everything i've worked for thus far.


but then i get a text that says,

"we're each on our own path.
yours is beautiful.
don't compare it to hers."


...and she's right.

i can't compare it to hers...
or his
or theirs for that matter.
i can only continue to be grateful for all the things i've learned on my path
and keep living my life without regrets.

i hope that each of you have a friend as good as mine...
to remind you of what's really important in life.
