What I thought things would be vs what they are

Sometimes things don't always work out how we intend them to. I imagined myself at 22 being graduated from college, possibly married and most definitely out of my parents house. At least this was 16 year old me's thoughts.
Instead, I'm 22, still in college and struggling with it, being thankful to have my parent's house to go to on the weekends and most definitely nowhere near getting married. Haha.
Life is what we make it. Of course there's our time for everything. But sometimes depression gets in the way and delays things. I'm going to graduate college. When? No idea. I'm going to live on my own someday. I'm going to have a blue corvette and a beautiful, old house that I love and I'm going to be happy. Do I have these things now? Nope. Not even close. Do I think I'm going to have them someday? Hell yes.
When life throws problems at us, we only have a few things we can do. We can embrace that issue and accept it. We can change that issue. Turn it into something better. Or we can ignore it and pretend its not there. Unfortunately I've done a whole lot of ignoring. I need to change that.
