Well said, my friend; thank you for legitimizing the angst within this twentysomething :)Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561173001372391437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-317019853318228654.post-58133273016073023492012-07-03T16:43:06.680-07:002012-07-03T16:43:06.680-07:00Recently I read something in a novel(which I was r...Recently I read something in a novel(which I was reading to distract myself from life's pressing in), something akin to a splash of cold water early in the morning. The novel was set in ancient Rome at the peak of its glory, but the parallel it drew to our day and age gripped me so tightly that I wrote it down. Here it is, judge for yourselves: "We are all incomplete and will find no rest til we satisfy the deepest hunger and thirst within us. Rome points the way to wealth and pleasure, power and knowledge. But Rome remains hungry. Search all you want, but until you find God, you live in vain. On what does your heart dwell?" ("An Echo in the Darkness" by Francine Rivers). WHO set the milestones for the 20 somethings, ever?? On what indeed does your heart dwell, and why? Thanks for opening up this can of worms!

Thanks for your perspective on "happy" :)Alina Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305597686935121239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-317019853318228654.post-39078202783616314272012-07-03T08:02:53.677-07:002012-07-03T08:02:53.677-07:00You have such a way with words, my friend!

I completely understand the frustration we "twentysomethings" deal with (being one myself :-)) - I have followed a few of those "steps" (getting married, having kids), but I'm still in college, don't have a ton of money, haven't started my own business, and (for obvious reasons) haven't made it around to graduate school yet... But I'm extremely happy. I have a husband and children whom I love (and who love me!), a roof over our head, enough money coming in to pay the bills and feed/clothe us, family who live nearby (and others who come to visit) - I would say that's pretty successful. Sure, there are other things I would like to accomplish in my life, and that we as a family would like to accomplish, but we're working on it together and from a "happy" standpoint.<br /><br />Miss you dear! <3 (Say hello to your mama for me!)The Wallaceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326673746597965684noreply@blogger.com
