writes:Dear Aunts,I would like to know if my current situation is normal.A few years back I was in love and I had decided to marry her, but I couldn't go through with it since her parents were opposed to it (We were of different religions). I was miserable for some time but have since accepted it. I got myself a decent job and put my past behind me. I am still young. The prospects of a better job and higher education are still open to me if I put some effort into it. However,I find that I am strangely content with my life.Should I pursue what I can? Will I regret not doing anything when I'm older? I am just so thankful that I don't have to go through the pain I felt through those many months after heart break. Is it crazy not to explore these opportunities that I have? At the same time, I feel life doesn't get much better than it already is. I mean, I can put bread on the table and take care of my parents and future spouse with the money I make now. I have never had a passion for anything professionally or academically. I do what I do because it pays. Have any of you been in a similar position? Do you have any advice for me?

 If you are happy right now, stay as you are. You might find that in a few years you are motivated to go to university and/or change career - then it will be easier and much better than if you force yourself to do it now.
Or, you might find that you never have a desire to get a 'better' job or go through higher education... that is fine too.
Whatever you decide will work out and will no doubt be the right decision for you.
All the best.

 My advice to you, is if you are happy and healthy and you are out working and providing money for your family, then you should remain what you are doing. Those are the important things in life. Love will follow at some point I am sure but if you are happy at the moment then there is no reason to change that.
