Thanks for this :)
I hear your point, an...Hi love,<br />Thanks for this :) <br />I hear your point, and I in no way wanted to suggest that I am, or that people ought to be in any way 'aiming towards' these Next Big Things - as though life is on hold until these things happen (and I am certainly not twiddling my thumbs waiting on marriage or kids, in any way!) <br />Where I was coming from was more that a lot of us have come out of a very structured existence up until the end of university, and then the rest of life ahead of us can seem fairly Big and Scary, and unstructured in comparison. <br /><br />You are very right that it's important to see the value in every stage and season of life, and not as an 'in-between' stage, or 'waiting' for something else to happen. I think I was trying to echo the feeling among my peers I've chatted with (especially people who've come into jobs not really related to their degrees) struggling to assimilate our expectations of a clear career and life path with the obvious reality of real life which isn't straightforward! <br />I hope this clarifies xxxxxxTheebsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630820584602323690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5535092131717708057.post-33740091346860283982013-10-20T14:18:46.578-07:002013-10-20T14:18:46.578-07:00Thea.

...Thea. So in response to the part where you write <br />'this stage of life - post-university, pre-full blown career, marriage, family'<br />can I say that that might be part of what is unhelpful. You feel like you are in limbo because you are waiting for the next big thing to happen. Now when I say this, understand that it is not from a place of having it all sorted - you know full well that I haven't. But please can I encourage you to try and see this stage of life, however long it lasts for, as one of opportunity. See each day as that. Tomorrow will look after itself. But don't put off living life to the full until you get the perfect career, get married, have children, as there will always be something to put off living for until it's sorted.<br />Lots of love xxx helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185351753836743975noreply@blogger.com
