being jolted into responsibility makes you re-evaluate your life in general and ponder how much adjustment you have to make to a lifestyle you have grown accustomed to. i look at my friends sometimes and feel a pang of guilt being envious about their financial freedom, or their blossoming love life, and at times their seeming trouble-free existence. what do i really want in this life? is it fame and popularity? having the means to afford ridiculous luxuries? unparalleled success and being looked up to? or a strong & loving relationship. will having any of these make me happy or a better person?
maybe an occasional feeling of envy for what others have can help someone aspire for the better things in life, maybe not. maybe the key to real happiness is keeping your expectations real - and be grateful that whats yours is yours. having the faith and trust that things happen for a reason and God, in this eternal goodness, has His reasons. i think what is most important is that having a job, being able to put food on the table, having a roof and being able to send my nephew to a good school is solace enough.
