that's just the way my life goes

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost. -Dalai Lama

This quote is to you, my friend, from me. Nobody's life is perfect and mine is on the far bottom of the list right above the imperfect end. I did everthing in a sort of zig zaggy, chutes and ladders kind of way. From saying I love you over the phone, meeting him in an airport halfway across the country for the first time, moving him up here and living with him right from the start, moving again to Texas and then back up here, then getting pregnant, getting a home together, and finally getting married. We completely skipped the dating part and went straight to sharing a bank account.

It worked for us for awhile there. I was fine with having our unique spontaneous wedding because I wanted to be husband and wife before our daughter came into this world. Everything doesn't have to be done by the book or by how you think it should be done. The reason we have problems now isn't because we did things ass backwards. Rushing into it was the only way for us to be together at the time and I don't regret a thing, I wanted to be his and I still do. So give me your two cents and I'll take it with a grain of salt and then brush it onto the floor when you're not looking because it's my life, not yours and it's not yours to be blabbin' to anybody but me about, if you must talk about me at all.

So I'm not lost and I'm not on the wrong path, I'm simply on a different road than you. Who wants to be on the same road as everyone else anyways? That's boring!!
