*sighs*
Just warning in advance, people, I'm going to be pretty darn depressed for the next few weeks. I turn thirty in about a week and a half, and I already feel like I'm going to throw up over it. See, years ago, I made goals about where I would be at age 30. Do you know how many of these goals I have made? That's right. Zippo. Null. None. Zero. What a waste my life has been.

RE: goals, I wouldn't worry too much about it. 30 is practically the new 20. And you're working on your masters, aincha? Hardly a waste. Don't let an arbitrary number get you down. Work hard on achieving the rest of your goals.

I'm working on my masters, but I'm probably going to have to take a leave of absence for financial reasons, and who knows if I'll ever be able to go back.

*huggles* I never made goals for where I would be at any given age - perhaps it's easier like that ...

*hugs Rinkë*
I always believed I wouldn't live to turn 29. Even in elementary school I felt that. So I never set any goals for myself in the future. The goal I have in living is trying to make others happy and be happy because I'm doing so and my goal before dying is to die without any regrets. Just a minor point that probably won't help at all, but I'm going to try anyway: Sometimes it is easier to find your worth not in your own eyes, but in the eyes of another. So rather than asking yourself what you think you did in your life that was worthwhile and how much of an impression you think you made or how much you think you added to this world with your existence, ask others about it, or ask yourself what others might say. You'll probably find out that you have done much more of worth then you thought you did. And at the same time you might also find out that that what others value in you is not the results you produce, but you and what you can mean for others. Phew. Now I feel like I'm going on some philosophical rant. Feel free to ignore or wholly disagree with this.

I agree with sis re: living in the present. Setting goals has never been a particularly useful activity for me. I have some I guess I vaguely live by... but, it's definitely the present, baby.
