When I was in my early 20's - I had a master plan. By the time I hit my 30's, I started to realize that this plan may never come to fruition. I'm in my 40's now - and - it never happened. I wanted marriage and I wanted kids, but I wanted the 'right' person to have them with. I gave myself a time limit - and time taught me a valuable lesson.
I wasted too much time relying on someone other than myself to make my life happen - and, sometimes the things you want are not the things you need.
Thankfully, I have no regrets. As I look back I realize, I'm actually glad things happened the way they did, and am thankful things turned out differently.
Point is - master plans don't always work. Sometimes, it best when they don't.
