newschickWell, I feel old...old and yet very young. Maybe young's not the right word...behind the times. Nancy and Brenda were the only ones who could make it to my little lunch today, which was fine, it was great seeing them again. But the entire conversation for the afternoon revolved around husbands, children, upcoming children, and other family-centric things. What do I have to contribute to this? Nada. Brenda and her husband are getting ready to have their first child and are fixing up their house to make room, Nancy and her husband are getting ready to move into their second home and are planning on starting to have kids within the next year. I've got a little apartment and a cat. Big whoop. My friends are having babies, building real families, acting all *cringe* mature. It's just wrong

All my friends keep acting grown up too, and they're so young still... I just like to keep growing... living... exploring... it's selfish, but I just don't think I will every have children. I've always thought that some people are just perfect for having children, and others should never have them... I know I would love them, but it's my battles with things like depression and anxiety that make it more difficult.

Date: 2002-05-18 08:38 pm (UTC)My 20 year high school anniversary is only 2 years away. Many of my old friends are married and have kids. My middle sister is married and has kids. I, the eldest of the clan... have an apartment and raise cats.
It's a bummer, but it's not wrong; it's just life. Marriage and kids aren't part of our lives right now. We just have to deal with that fact. Make peace with it.
