Back in the day, I'd go to parties at college and stand in the corner with my friends, slowly sipping the cheap beer from plastic cups, sometimes talking, and always trying to look cool for the ladies who were paying no attention to us. Then I'd walk back to my dorm room alone and drunk.
Oh, how I miss those days.

 But my post wasn't in the spirit of this thread. It wasn't about my dreams and where I ended up instead. Back in the day, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be. This caused me much anxiety. I had no real dreams. Everyone I knew seemed to have their shit together and know what they wanted to be when they grew up. I had no clue. So I just did what I was told and kept my nose clean, but otherwise followed the path of least resistance through life and ended up here. I never really chose this life. It just happened to me. I did end up with an amazing wife and kids, but the career is rather uninspiring. |

To Glatt: having the wonderful family is much more than a lot of people will ever have. You are lucky to have them and they are lucky to have you! I'd call it a success story.
