As Baz Luhrmann says, "sometimes we're ahead, sometimes we're behind. The race is long, and in the end it's only with yourself". We also all have different goals and paths, and this year has proven that life can always throw things in the way that set us off track.✨ Some people meet and marry young, some of which will get divorced in their 30's or 40's and end up single again or temporarily back at their parents'. Some people meet later and have the most mind-blowingly beautiful love story. Some people choose not to meet anyone at all. So don't feel like you're being left behind if you're still single... You might meet the love of your life in two years time just as a friend goes through a breakup. Your relationship status doesn't define you. Being in a relationship doesn't guarantee happiness, just like being single doesn't have to be negative. There's nothing more lonely than being with the wrong person, so don't confuse being lonely and alone. The two don't go hand in hand. 💗 This quote doesn't just relate to relationships either, it can refer to anything in life. When I was 25 I quit my job in order to pursue my dream career, the one I do now. For years I was totally broke, as I watched my friends get promoted and buy houses. I missed out on holidays because I couldn't afford to go on them, but I had a dream. Now I'm doing what I love, and a few of my friends are unhappy with work and thinking about their next move. It's a long life, and it's not a race. 🤸🏼‍♀️ This year has proven that so much can change in a year, good and bad. That's why it's so important not to put your life on hold until you meet someone, not feel like you're missing out if you aren't in a relationship, and not compare where you are now to where others appear to me. Remember: we don't really know how happy people are in their relationships, jobs etc. Hope this quote is helpful for anyone who feels a little lost, or like they're being left behind. Monday is a new week of new beginnings and infinite possibilities, so make sure you try make it happier than last✨🥰」9月21日 5時03分
