I seem to be in a weird place in life. David and I have been married for 4 years, but we still feel like newlyweds. We are 26 and 25 and David is in school, with 18 year-olds. When practically everyone I know is having babies, we aren't ready, not even close. The people I know who aren't parents are single or just got married. I have a job, not a career and my peers are already making a dent in their 'life's work.'
We don't know where we fit in. (As if that is obtainable.) I have never really felt like I fit in anywhere. High school and college and Navy life... I always felt like I was ... different. I stick out. Why must my path be so crooked?
I no longer feel adrift waiting for rescue. I see myself as the mule in the stable full of horses. I am not so much concerned with where I go from here, it is likely this will be the norm for the immediate future. It is more troubling to me that we got out of the Navy in search of a normal life and we feel more isolated/bizarre/square peg in civilian life.
I have Sneech syndrome.
I want my star.
I want my frankfurter roast.
ps- how many metaphors can I cram into one blog?
