This is my response to prompt #14: What did you think you’d be when you grew up

When I imagined my happily ever after-
it never looked like my current reality
a mother of 3 with 2 jobs, on the brink of divorce,
with 5 mental health diagnosis
and yet, I stand here with contentment in my heart
and appreciation for the life I’m living
I may not have grown up to live the life I envisioned
but I’m still proud of who I’ve become
It’s my understanding that to be happy and contented one must master one’s own self. That seems an ongoing, never ending endeavor. I know it is for me… Good luck; you seem to be well on your way…; -)
