One of my old high school friends just got married. Another one is getting married and having a baby. Now I just keep wondering if things happened because of choices I made or because I’m just meant to be alone and empty. After a while of only getting shit thrown at you, you start thinking that you’re part of some fucked up plan.

Speaking from experiencing, comparing your accomplishments to the accomplishments of those around you can be a recipe for failure. If you’re not reaching milestones that others around you are reaching, take another look at it. Sometimes it might not be the best fit for you… or the timing isn’t yet right… or your strategy might need some tweaking.
I personally, feel that I am part of a cosmic joke somewhere along the way. That no matter which road I take, I will always end up at exactly the same spot. I’m beginning to honestly think that life is a great design within a large massive spiders web.
EDIT: That should have said:
“Life is a GREATER design within a large massive spiders web.” Sometimes, I type too fast for my own good. 😛
When you get into that vicious cycle of comparing yourself to others you are blind to the negatives of those things that seem so desirable. For instance, you see a friend has a child, would you really want to wake up every morning and take care of a baby? Would you really be interested in working full time, and getting home to do only more exhausting work that not only involves you, but the well being of others. Think about the chores that go along with relationships, babies, and the stress of promotion. All good things come with an overwhelming amount of expectations.
