I have those Pinterest boards too...
You know.
The one that’s labeled “my future husband”
The one that’s labeled “for my future house”
The one that’s labeled “wedding”
The one that’s labeled “bachelorette party 🥳🍾🤪”
The one that’s labeled “someday when I’m a mom” (or as I now call it “tini toris”)
.
All the ones I have yet to use, the ones I keep adding to without being able to utilize.
Never realizing it, I was allowing these Pinterest boards, these things that are “supposed” to happen, dictate my life.
I was SO impatient. I used to give myself very strict deadlines.
“Okay, seriously, by THIS time NEXT YEAR, I will at LEAST be dating someone!!!”
“Okay, for REALLLLY, I am GOING to HAVE to start having kids before I’m 27!”
.
All those years have come and gone, and the only thing that deadline left me with was heartache and pain I’d unknowingly inflicted on myself.
.
Wasn’t I enough?
