what will be will be

It's hard sometimes to accept the fact that I am meant to be exactly where I am. I look at the kids I'm currently working with and I think "Man wouldn't have been great if I had a childhood like theirs" but no. I had things I had to go thru to make me into the person I am and true I think I could have moved a lot faster in my career had things gone differently but what if all the things I've grown from the addictions and disorders had happened after I made it to the "top" right now I'd probably be rebuilding a crumbled life and I'm sure I would have gone thru more hardships and may have not recovered. I'll just have to have patience and accept that what will be will be and I just have to be open to it.
