Time

Every success is attached to an age range, forced on us by society. You have to complete college in 4 years, you have to be 21 by the time you’re done, and if you did everything right, you’ll have a job by the end of it. Only this is far from the truth, considering there are a multitude of factors that can affect the direction your life takes. Not only that but if you’re a woman who wants to have a family, things become significantly more difficult. Ideally, for the mother and the baby, a women should have a child before age 40. This means if you’re into the concept of marriage, you practically have an itinerary set out for you.

The time you have to attain your career, find the love of your life, save money for a wedding, get married, and decide to have children….

Who the hell has their life so figured out they can have all this?! I’m a college graduate, still figuring out my passion, and I can’t help but feel like while I’m doing all this figuring out, time is ticking and I’m falling behind my peers who have known their ultimate goal in life since they started HS…

I’m not making excuses, I’m not whining, I’m just pointing out that fact that society and even our own families hold us up to a standard that for some is just unattainable.

Time is flexible, whether we choose to believe it or not.
