When someone asks me where all my money went. |
Even social media can have such a huuuuuuuuge effect on us. Well, especially me. I am not ashamed to say that I am on my phone 24/7. It's so easy to have a 'quick' scroll on Instagram before bed, and 3 hours later you end up on your best friends-sisters-friend from uni's-cousins-collegues-daughter and see that she drives a Range Rover, goes to Dubai 3 times a year, has 9 pairs of Louboutin's and an indoor pool and instantly feel crap about your own life. We ALL do it. But you just need to remember that you don't know anything about their life. It's Instagram, you choose what you want people to see, kind of like an online persona. They could have worked their arses off all their lives or they could have been bought it by their parents. You. Don't. Know. So don't let it bother you. And definitely don't compare yourself.
When it comes to setting another 5 year plan, that takes me up to 30. THIRTY years old. Oh my days. I was going to say that I won't be setting one, I'm just going to continue working as hard as I am and let fate decide which city/career/relationship I end up settling in, but if I'm still living in a house share in Wakefield, harassing my teacher friends for their student discount codes and blending all my meals because I cba to cook, I will 100% be having serious words/go to rehab/sign up to a sugar daddy website/donate an organ to get on the career ladder/get a sperm donor. Some of the above are lies, some aren't- I'll let you decide on that.
But on a more serious note, when it comes to setting goals and plans, don't compare yourself to others, concentrate on YOU, work hard and everything will start falling into place.
Love this post! I'm exactly the same. As a teenager I was convinced I was going to be driving a Range Rover (vogue obviously) and I'd have a huge gorgeous house with at least 1 child and another on the way. I'm 27 (about to turn 28 but shhhh) and I'm single, live in rented accommodation and I can't even drive. Meanwhile all my friends are married and having babies but actually I'm ok with that. I have soooo much that my friends don't and in two years when I'm 30 I'm sure I'll have even more! xx
