That's so true, you get to a certain age and you realize that everyone else is also just improvising and figuring things out as they come. It may have always been that way and we never noticed. I also think it's partly because things were more stable years ago. The economy always had ups and downs, of course, but when I was a kid people still seemed to believe in the American dream.

So true. The older you get, the more you realize everyone’s just figuring it out as they go.
Honestly when I brought my daughter home from the hospital. The first three days after she was born we had nurses popping in every two hours helping with everything from feeding to diaper changes. Then you're discharged and it's like....wait, what? I'm not responsible enough for this. And then you get home and start figuring it out. It's terrifying and empowering.

That’s such a good way to describe it. Terrifying and empowering at the same time.

Honestly, that realization hits hard once you start making your own big decisions and notice everyone else is improvising too. It’s kind of scary at first, but also freeing, because it means you don’t need a perfect plan to move forward. Most people are just figuring it out one step at a time.

Exactly. Realizing nobody has it all figured out is weirdly freeing.

I think it’s actually hitting me now. I thought with a certain title and salary, I would’ve happy and my life would smooth out. That’s not the case. I actually feel like I don’t even have time to dedicate to getting my life in order. I realized it’s about giving myself grace and not expecting for every moment of my life to be meticulously and perfectly planned.

feel this. Sometimes giving yourself grace is the hardest but most important part.
