life and its ever-present presence

[darlin_sane]

Zoey brought in a cord to hook up our stereo at work to our ipods! Best thing ever. So I updated my ipod last night and put on some new stuff to listen to at work, including new EODM, new Ratatat, Vivian Girls, Chuck Berry, CSS, new Wolf Parade, Black Kids, Crystal Stilts, The Frogs, Lady GaGa (hahahahaha!), new Of Montreal, The Presets, The Sonics

Who knows why I'm even fretting about all of this. I guess as much as I try not to let my age or societal timelines hinder or influence me, it's really hard to avoid it all the time.

I agree most heartily with this. As you pass major milestones in your life, whether they be birthdays or dreams realized, you naturally want to take stock of what direction your life is headed in and where you want it to go. I do the same thing!

When i accepted the engagement ring from Adam, we hugged, kissed and toasted our drinks - then I said, "Well...I might change my mind about kids." Because right now I absolutely unequivocally don't want them...but I am speaking from the viewpoint of a 26 year old dream chaser, and I want to reserve the right to change my mind/feelings. He accepted that in turn. But he is very anti-kids. He loves to teach them, but wants to keep things the way they are - just the two of us.

I feel you - I don't know how or who or what I'm going to be in five, six, ten years. I don't want to make huge life decisions based on what I am now because I have evolved so much from five, six, ten years ago.
