Grumble.

I oftentimes can't express in words how I feel about certain topics. When that happens, I like to borrow other people's words.

Yeah, it's been one of those weeks.

Everyone needs to read this: 26, Unmarried and Childless

Parts I like:

"So when you — friends, family, acquaintances, Twitter followers and blog readers — remind me that I’m far behind where one would expect to be at my age, it makes me feel broken. I feel like I’ve done something wrong. I feel like I’m letting you down or making some horrible mistake."

"Instead of relishing in the freedom, blessings and limitless possibilities that this stage of life offers me, I am left frozen, feeling like I’m not enough. Like what I’ve done doesn’t really matter or that I’ve accomplished nothing. I’m an outcast. I’m defective. I’m panicked. When you comment on my life stage as if there was something I could do to change it, it makes me feel inadequate. Most days I truly do love where I’m at right now, but when people question my marital status, I think I’m messing up my chances to do anything worthwhile with my life."

"When you ask these questions, it doesn’t help me grow. It doesn’t help me feel content with where I am. It does more damage than you realize."

I'm also going to include a link to an amazing song for no real reason. I just like it and it makes me smile. Hozier - Take Me to Church
