Yeah it took awhile
When i turned 21, 22, 23, 24 – i still felt like 20
Soddof
Now that i’m 26,
people ask me how old i am,
and i still accidentally answer ’25’ sometimes
cos i forget i’m already 26
And it has recently dawned on me that i’m reaching my late 20s
when friends start talking about marriage and kids
I mean, i *have* friends who are already married. And have kids.
But these are my close friends whom i know of to be on the same page in Life as me.
This week alone, i’ve had:
– One girlfriend telling me her boyfriend is talking about marriage
“WHAT!?!?!” i clamped my hand over my mouth to stop from screaming at a bar
“Yeah shhhhh”
“Whattttttt” i repeated myself, still in shock.
– Another friend telling me he wants to have kids.
“WHAT?!?!?!” Again. I have to stop myself from screaming.
“Yeah. I’m serious. I can see myself having kids soon.”
“Give me a second. I have to shut my mouth. It’s still hanging open.”
“I’ve reached a stage in my life where i’m done with the partying.”
“I know, me too. But that doesn’t mean i want to have kids!!”
“Well, obviously i have to find a girlfriend first.”
“Hahaha!”
Sigh, do we all really have to grow up so fast?
I also seem to see this trend amongst my male friends,
that they realise they want to have children and settle down,
and *then* they start looking for that person to settle down with.
So the whole ‘taxi light’ theory is probably true.
It’s all a matter of timing and looking for that person with the same timing and tick as you.
WHY am i writing about this now i don’t know.
I’m just procrastinating some work which i’m hating to do right now!
