N.E. MO | I wanted to contribute, but after seeing the advice you already received, I can’t add much of value.
I’ve seen many of your posts, and you seem to be an intelligent, ambitious young man.
This is about as good as I have, at 53 years old:
School itself will seem so much less important as time goes on. That doesn’t mean that it’s not valuable and that you did the wrong thing going. Just that it will become a small part of your life over time.
The best thing that came out of my college years are the lifelong friendships I have. Seems like that might be what you are missing, and I’m not a lot of help there. But I feel you might be looking for friends that you have everything in common with. I can tell you that some of my closest friends are those that I have to explain everything tiny little thing about farming or whatever to. The things you have in common with someone are far less important than the quality of the person they are. Took me a long time to realize this.
Took me a long time (and a couple divorces) to find “the one”. And to my last paragraph, she had never been around farming or small town living. But she took right to it, and said she never felt more at home than she did, after adjusting to this lifestyle.
This is the part to pay attention to!!!
Make the most of what you have! My Tammy died at 50, about 15 months ago. Hardest thing I’ve ever gone through, and still going through it. But…I look back and just don’t have many regrets. We LIVED. We did so many things together and just had fun. I’d give anything to still be doing those things, but I smile a lot more than I cry when I look back at the time we had together. And she was a saved, Christian lady (even more important than anything I’ve said) and I know I will see her again.
I guess the point is…you have a lot of life in front of you. Don’t put too much stock in failures or successes at this point. Things will work out the way they will, and it’s up to you to make the best of every situation. | |
