A house, two cars, a healthy relationship ,a career, livable wage, 2.5 kids, a dog. ya know, the expectation many children were told in school.

Everything I hear on social media says this is a myth.

    Idk, there never really was a plan tbh. When I was a kid I obviously wanted all that stuff because society describes it as the normal objective to aim for.

    Some of the things I don’t have because I don’t want them. I’m aro/ace and not really looking for a partner or kids. I don’t have a car because it’s not worth the money to me, my bike and the train manage to bring me nearly everywhere.

    I managed to finish university and I have a nice job. So really I have not much to complain about. After getting mono and COVID I did become perpetually tired, but luckily not enough to stop life from being fun.

    I guess it’s going to plan, just not the plan that society made up for me but rather the one I made up along the way.
