No, I never expected to have a boyfriend or graduate from one of the top schools in the nation.
No.

Nope. Never wanted to be away from my man months at a time. But i love him. I actually never thought id be in a relationship, cuz i want too much out of it.. Like being treated like a princess
No but I found a great man and I'm happy with him. I didn't achieve my goals of furthering myself into the medical field but there is still time. God willing.. Ill get there.
No
Pero esta padre
Pero esta padre
No but Im content and know things will improve
Not at all. I never thought I would be living with my brother and his huge family. It very stressful. However I have an amazing girlfriend that helps me stay strong every day just by being there. I didn't expect to have a girlfriend. But I'm sure happy I do. She is amazing and always there when I need her. So, I'm pretty happy about my life, it'll be much better when we are together though
Lmao. Yea, I bet you didn't expect to fall in love with a female huh? :)

I didn't expect that, but I love that I did. And I fell hard. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Ummmmm yes still in the best place to live. Thought I might not be working but living this life costs money and I don't want to give it up. Thought I would be in a bigger house but owning a home is a blessing itself.
Well, I never thought I'd be without income, dealing with terrible anxiety, and living with my ex. I also never thought I'd meet someone online who lives 13 hours away from me. However, she is wonderful. So that part is a plus.
Not even close. 5 years ago life was just starting to hit a bump i had to find a new job and he was unemployed. I thought it would be temporary and we were so in love we could get through anything. Obviously i was wrong.
No, definitely not... I never thought I would ever love again, never thought I would consider getting married again. Never thought it would happen for me. I honestly thought I would be perpetually dating.
Yes, I am more clear-minded and at ease.
No, I'm with someone who I thought I would never have a chance with, but now were married and its crazy to even see her next to me in the morning. I love her so much, and I couldn't imagine a better 5 year turn around
Um I never thought I'd be bumming around without a job because Im a happy lil working person, I love the structure. And I certainly didnt think I'd meet someone even 10% as awesome as my partner. So things are very different!
