Why is everyone all about rushing things?

I know everyone has opinions. I know I have opinions. But one thing my opinions do not do is converse with someone and say "what you need to do is..." Because I know when someone does this with me all I want to say back to them is "No, what you need to do is this..." What sparked this was a simple conversation I was having with a somewhat friend. I only say somewhat because we are friends, but not really close. And everyone on Earth knows I am single and sometimes unhappy...well the thing is I have recently found out why I was so unhappy. And it is not simply because I am single. That is only a small part...a part I have come to accept over the years and really for the most part am okay about. What upset me the most was the fact that for the past 8 years slowly but surely my life has crept to a halt. After I graduated I had a big wakeup call about real life. SOme of it I handled well, and others not so well. But the point is I suffered through it and made the best. One thing in the conversation that set me off was the fact that they said I don't live my life for myself, but in order to help others. AHH. Yeah I chose to do this and still choose to do this, but I know now I can incorporate the things I want into it as well. In other words it is all falling into place like I had hoped years ago. And as for the "you better hurry up, the clock is ticking" well forget that. I am only in my early 30's and as far as I'm concerned I am not dead yet. So, what did I do when my somewhat friend said these things? I did what any level headed person who understands that everyone has their own path in life does...I just took a deep breath and moved on. Because deep down I am the one who has to answer to my happiness. And that will lead me to all things true....maybe even my man. Have a great day.
