[quote=Anonymous]I live a very small life as compared to all my super successful college friends. Recently, met them after a few decades and realized we all are facing the same thing - disease, aging, death of parents, children having problems, marital issues, climate change, misfortune of one kind or another, job stress.

In some ways, my life was less complicated than theirs and a large chunk of my life was spent in routine, normal stuff (unlike them) that they felt envious about. I have spent time with my family, my kids, my siblings, my parents, my ILs, my neighbors.  And I take naps in the afternoon and my DH cooks.  All small things but I am really happy with my small life.

Also, they do not really compare their life with me. They compare their life and successes to the people who are as successful as them and in their circle.  I keep thinking that I am like a  zooplankton floating  in the great ocean of life. I don't need to worry about what the sharks, tuna, squids and crabs are doing.  [/quote]
