Patience is a Virtue, Life is an Adventure, So Why Must You Tell Me To Hurry Before It's To Late?

Patience is a virtue, life is an adventure, I'm still quite young and in awe of the world so why must I rush to settle down?
  At 17, the August before my senior year, I announced that I was engaged and everyone began to freak out, commenting how I was to young and I would regret it years from then because I was so young and infatuated by the idea of sharing the rest of my life with a special someone. I'll admit the idea was definitely appealing, but at that point in my life I was more scared of what may happen if I didn't say yes. He wasn't always a nice person and what would be a better legacy than following in my mum's footsteps, I mean she had been 17 and now 20 something odd years later, she's still with my father, through all the heartache and comments of how she was so young.
  Now it's been a couple years and so many people have asked me when I plan on getting married so I can begin to settle down and start a family? I'm appalled at the thought that at 20 years young I seem mature enough to have a family because dear, I am nowhere near done finding who I am and I am definitely not financially stable enough to even try to think about the expense of caring for a child and myself.
  You must remember Sarah and Abraham's story, Sarah was 90 years old before she was blessed with her son, Isaac. There is no need to rush everything happens in God's perfect timing.

Patience is a virtue, life is an adventure, why do you keep telling me I'm running out of time to choose a career field to go into?
  I did what I was supposed to, I graduated high school in the spring of 2016, went through a traumatic breakup during the summer and started college in the spring. I had absolutely no clue what I needed to do, I wasn't prepared in the least and yet I was doing the right thing by the words of society. Within two semesters, I had practically flunked out, only passing two classes and one of those passing grades hardly counted. I was done after that, it's been a year or so and the question that always circles around the room when I'm around is, when are you going back to college? Then there's all the comments and mentions of family members who are in college doing so well.
  I am not them, I am me and I am definitely not ready for college, not at this moment in my life. I have no idea what career I'd like to pursue, though I have many talents and I have a knack for teaching, I don't want to choose something in the spur of the moment because that's what I'm supposed to do. I do not want to fail again and I definitely don't want a career field I'm going to regret choosing in the next 10 to 20 years, please let me learn outside of the classroom and I will go back to college when I'm ready and completely sure of what I'd like to do.
  You must know, J.K Rowling was 31 before her most famous series was a published work in the literature world. Leonardo Da Vinci was a crazy old man with a passion for painting until he was 51, when he painted the Mona Lisa and became a famous painter. Then we have Ann Frank, one of the most known names in our history books, her life ended at 15 but her story has preceded her for many years and probably will continue to mark a dark time in history.

Patience is a virtue, life is an adventure, so why must I hurry before it's to late?
  It's never to late for anything, everything happens for a reason and it all happens in God's perfect timing. I am not sure where I'm supposed to go next in life or where I will end up, but I'd much rather enjoy the ride than rush and miss the most important moments.
  Don't you know, Jesus was 30 before we ever began to hear much about him yet Jehoash was crowned king when he was 7. Everything happens when it's set to happen and there's no need to rush or try to force things to fall into place faster than they're supposed to.
  Look at the planets for example, Mars takes a total 687 days to orbit the sun whilst Jupiter takes 12 years. They don't care about time, it is only a construct created by us people to, well I'm not entirely sure why we give things a time limit.
  Even the animals and bugs could care less about how long things take, for example some whales take eighteen months to be born and then you look at butterflies and they can hatch in as little as three weeks.

Patience is a virtue, life is an adventure, I've come quite far and learned so much in my 20 years.
  I will continue to learn and love in my life because there's no need to rush and I am finally happy with where I am in my life. After all everything will fall into place exactly when it's supposed to and not a second sooner because everything happens in God's perfect timing and we can't stop or change it no matter how hard we try.
