Life.

I am 28 years old. I am a flight attendant for a small-ish airline that probably won't be around for long. I didn't finish school. I 'live' in a crash pad with 7 other people, most of my worldly possessions are still at the condo I shared with my ex-husband. I was married for five years and I've been divorced for almost 2 months.

I'm not unhappy with my life. It's definitely hard and stressful, but I'm afforded SO many opportunities other people aren't. I can hop on a plane on any of my days off to almost wherever I choose. I meet a lot of different/interesting people and I've been to a lot of places I never would have seen were I not doing this job.

I will say that ten years ago if you had asked me where I would be right now my current life would never have crossed my mind. I would have given some generic, vanilla, possibly very Mormon answer. Still, I am in a relationship with someone whom I really love, I'm taking care of myself financially, physically and emotionally.

It can be hard sometimes, but for the most part at this point in time I feel like I'm doing the right thing. However, I know I'm not going to be doing this job for much longer and it's a little scary to think that I'm going to be doing something completely different next year this time.
