when i was 12, i read a book about palm reading. at that time, i determined that i would live until i was 25 years old. therefore, upon that one assumption when i was 12, i tried to do everything i ever wanted to do before turning 25.
well, i'm 34 now and still alive. i think things could be better, but considering the thought that according to my palm reading at age 12 i should be dead now, i think this is a much better alternative.  Don't cha think?

I'm exactly where I thought I'd be: doing what I want to do and making plans for surgery.

I'm glad that 12 year old Katia failed palm reading 101.


      I thought I'd be long dead by now.  The alternative was to have a dishwashing job and still be smoking pot.  Neither one happened.  I'm much better off.  A home, a girlfriend, friends at work and at church, and I finally found people at this site who I can sympathize with and who I can relate to.

      Would you peoples still like me if I were a long dead pot smoking corpse?  Probably not.

I'm happy to say that I am.  I wish I could have done it sooner, but better late than never, right?

I'm where I'd thought I'd be, in a small attic in london where I manically work into the early hours writing crap by flickering electric-bulb light.

A friend of mine said, "If I knew I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself".

Oh the care free days of youth.

Yes.  Better late than never.  It's all about the journey too.  No matter how you've felt in the past, you know you're where you're at now because you earned it.

Oh, Honey, no way. We can make all the plans we want, but must still live out our destiny.

No and good thing too.  By the wording of your question:  "are you where you'd thought you'd be in life?"  implies an arbitrary
starting point, say age 21, looking forward to now--for me--early 50s.  I didn't think I'd make 30 and certainly never foresaw the
will, opportunity, or chance to transition then.  I wanted to be a musician then, I am now, a female musician.  I NEVER foresaw
any possibility of that.  Glad I made it past 30 to now.

Not at all. I'm much happier and better off than I ever thought I'd be.

Well at 20 I never had much of a life.  It's kind of scary to think about where I would actually be in 10-15 years.  If I'm still living by then then I must be doing something right.  We will see.

However, for now no.   I am not where I thought I would be at in life.  About 4 years ago I had planned to move into a college dorm and get my teaching degree or in the millitary with no ambition to transition.  Four years later I'm still living with my mother working on my associates degree in criminal justice with no desire to transfer to a four year school but with a constant desire to be who I should and because of that (and weight problems) the millitary ambition was cut out of my life and I'm learning to just get over it for now.  I got to admit though my dream death was always to die on the battlefield but oh well.

I'm happy where I am at the present time.
