What I am beginning to believe is that getting two out of the three big things down right (or whatever the number is) is ok. Brilliant in fact. I admit I would be much happier with myself if I wasn't badgered by relatives upon entering the house with "Hilary, why aren't you married yet?" or getting introduced as the girl who took a year to get a job. Darnit! I feel like what I am doing is pretty good. Focus on those good things for once! I am doing a bang up job at life, moreso than many people. It isn't the end of the world if one thing has gone wonky. Most people do have stuff that is off, even they are good at hiding it.
Don't sweat it, Rachael. I don't want to tell you that you should be happy because I don't know exactly what you are miserable about, but you are doing a lot of things right. Can't knock that.
Incidentally, how did the writing conference go? Get your fill of Wheaton?
You're right, I should focus on what's good. I have been grumpy ever since college, mostly because I really enjoyed being with friends constantly, and to get plucked out of that directly after graduation made me kinda mad. But things always seem to work out one way or another, and I need to remember that.
The writer's conference went quite well. Wheaton is a pretty campus. I got a LOT of good info on how to be a better writer, and I did some networking, so I am very glad I went. I got invited to send a novel proposal to Bethany House. I'm not putting unrealistic hopes on it because she said adolescent fiction is a tough market with their house right now, but I'm so happy that someone actually asked for it.
By the way, I see your Iron Man icons. I liked that movie. See, any decade of my life that produced Iron Man can't be that bad.
Hmm, that's odd. I don't think I've ever had a conversation where someone said the the 20s was a horrible time. In fact, all I've heard is that it is a good time. I wonder who you've been talking too..just curious. You'll have to tell me more about it in detail soon.
My 20s have been good thus far. But that's just me.
PS. I see someone else had an Iron Man Icon so I had to show off mine as well. :)
