There is no set timeline if life, we each are on our own paths. Things that happen for us, do not happen at the same exact time as someone else.
I hate when I feel like there are “timelines” put on life. For example….
- When you should get married.
- Baby making, haha.
- Finding your true calling, like going back to school at an older age if you decide to.
There are NO set timelines in life! People can feel so much pressure to accomplish these things that make them feel there is a deadline on. There is no book saying you have to get married or have kids, you do what you want.
No deadlines on life!
When I got married, I felt like so many people were asking when baby was coming. Sure, Mike and I knew we wanted another child, but we also knew we would start trying when it was best for us. Not when someone else thought we should be having a baby.
We wanted to start when we were settled, wanted to enjoy being newlyweds, and wanted to make sure we were ready too. Of course sometimes things happen, I was a teen mom and that was not planned. I had control this time of when it was right or good timing , and it happened when we wanted it.
I was single for awhile before I got married, after getting out of a 5 year relationship. Did I feel pressure to find someone and get married, especially since I had a kid? Nope, I figured if I met someone one day, got married, and had more kids it was meant to happen. I never felt like I had to hurry up and meet someone, and I was okay if I never did. I just lived happy and life to the fullest each day, and all of a sudden one day I did meet Mike. <3
Don’t feel pressure to get married or to have kids. TIming is everything, and those things will happen for you at the right time, and if you want them.
Please don’t feel pressure when you get a certain age and you feel time is running out, IT’S not. Of course as you get older as a woman, your fertility percentages decline. But seriously, do not feel like an alien if you are 30 and are single with no kids. You are NOT weird, you are normal and you are following your heart and leading the path in your life. Your path is unique.
Maybe you never want to get married or have kids, and that is totally OK. Live your life, and do what makes you happy. Don’t feel pressure or sadness if you do want kids/marriage and it hasn’t happened for you when you thought it would. Just keep living each day of your life to the fullest.
This book is PERFECT for this topic.
Happiness is learning to love what you have.
We all have things that happen in our lives at different times, want different things, and that’s ok. We need to quit putting pressure on each other or bashing each other if we choose to live our life a different way. Or if things are not happening for us the same time it is happening for others.
Just LIVE and just LIVE the happiest you can each day. No stress or pressure!
I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on this topic!
