From now and my past I have changed my opinion on so many things. I can’t even remember some of the things that I thought were so important at the time. I look back and wonder how I could have thought the way I did. I can say that a lot of my growth and change in opinions are due to maturity and experiences. I can especially say that when it comes to what I think is most important.
When I was younger I used to think that going out and hanging out with friends was the most important thing. I was so focused on being “cool.” Working out and having fun I wanted to get married and settle down, eventually. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to have children, I was worried about gaining weight. When I look back I think of how silly that sounded. After I met my husband and found out I was pregnant it changed a lot of things. Through my experiences and maturity I saw what was really important. I am so happy to have a family and especially my son. I wouldn’t change my life now for anything. It doesn’t matter about trying to be cool and hanging out with friends. As I got older I have two or three friends that I keep contact with. Being home with my family is what is really important. After one look at my son putting on a few more pounds was definitely worth it. Now it’s all about him and my husband, and finding time to manage my time. I didn’t think I would be able to take on family and my personal routines, but I have and it’s better than I imagined it would be.
I think mostly everyone goes through that phase of trying to be "cool" in high school. I know I did. I think I was pretty lucky to have realized at a relatively early time that it's only four years of my life and life goes on.
ReplyDeleteWell I am glad that you are able to have to manage your time.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true. After you start realizing many things you also notice who are your real close friends.
ReplyDeletei agree after having a child does change your perspective on things.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me glad to know that someday I will too change the way I see things

ReplyDeleteA family is always a very nice change.
ReplyDeleteWow how strange life gets when everything changes.
ReplyDeleteI remember dressing a certain way because I thought it was cool and now i look back on old pictures and realize how embarrassing i use to dress.
ReplyDeleteI believe most of us think that at some point hanging out is very important, Then we realize it is not.
