When my husband asked me to marry him I said no because I felt I was too messed up (PTSD/agoraphobia/panic attacks). I wanted him to be able to be free and live without all of the baggage I lived with. God bless the man he just shook his head and said he didn’t accept that. We’ve been married 16 years with two kids and we are the best of friends. I never thought someone like me could make it but look at me now!
I’m 35 and I’ve got an entry-level job that’s not working out so well, we live in a shitty apartment and keep getting outbid on the houses we like, we have no kids, I don’t drink because I’m a recovering alcoholic and it’s not even Wednesday yet. But you know what? I’ve got my dream girl here and that’s all that matters to me. Fuck all that other noise. Don’t let society tell you what “making it” means! Just find who makes you happy and do whatever you have to do to be with them.
I’m living this. I’ve been married for 18 years with 3 kids and a mortgage. We were in a homeless shelter less than 10 years ago and didn’t have a clue of what we were going to do. We made it out and thrived.
