Same here! No husband no kids Some people see that and automatically think that my life is sad and lonely. However, when the conversation turns to the news or general subjects or just what you did last weekend most people realize that I live my life quite intensively -because I have time to travel, read books, do volunteer works, etc. I get down from time to time and wonder whether I'd be better off walking down the well-worn path, but those moments usually don't last for too long!

If you live your life honestly and you're happy with it no, you're not a failure.
