Thanks for the thoughts, I guess I was curious, I'm 25 and living at home, I've got decent(ish) degrees but I didn't think that this where I would be y'know? And I know a lot of it is the economic climate but I constantly feel like I'm aiming for something that isn't achievable y'know? And I agree with ALL of your comments, some of my friends (seem to) have it together and others are in worse situations than me, it's so hard! I think they leave out (lol I don't know who 'they' are either) when you're younger, just how hard it is to get your schizz together, and it's true we're taught to 'want to be stuff' that we're never given the tools of how to get to know who we are....I know I'm still figuring out.

Yes- its the age when you build a life for yourself. You want to "be there" by the time you are 55. And I`ll tell ya- you get TIRED when you get older. So its a lot better to do all the hard work earlier.

Hi Tasha. There will always be there. As soon as you get there, there will now be over there. It's ok to want to get there but just realize that once you arrive at that planned destination, odds are, that a new there will be on a new horizon.

Enjoy your here and when you get there, enjoy that here too.
One of my favorite lines from a very old musical was, pile up too many tomorrows and all you're left with is a bunch of yesterday's. Today is here and tomorrow is there. Just like when you get to tomorrow, tomorrow actually still tomorrow. Same ing with there.

"there" will always be that carrot at the end of a stick. I remember being a teenager and thinking "there" meant marriage and being out of my Mom's house. After my divorce, "there" meant being able to support my kids and myself. Then "there" was putting myself through college. There have been so many "there"s in my long life. There will always be a "there" looming ahead to reach for. For my 95 year old Mom "there" means her upcoming death. There is always a "there" to reach for. It is what keeps us reaching forward.

We are wired to believe that once we finish college we will make it *there*; that's how they get us to invest in them. We are not taught ways to learn about ourselves and how to grow from within.. which is the ultimate *there*, if you ask me. I, too, feel the way you do..
