babies? BABIES? BABIEZ?!?111?1
I went out last night to my friend Steph's birthday thing which was at a local bar, because she turned 20, and I hadn't seen her in a while. We went to high school together, and we even go to the same university, but we're in different programs. I was looking for another mutual friend of ours we went to high school with, and I asked Steph where she was.
Me: So where's [friend?] You invited her, right?
Steph: Yeah, but she couldn't make it...working I guess?
Me: Oh...I haven't seen her in a while.
Steph: Did you hear the news? She told me a few weeks ago when I talked to her on the phone.
Me: What?
Steph: She's pregnant!
Me: O_o ARE YOU SHITTING ME?
Steph: Yeah, seriously! It's so exciting!
Me: Aww, how far along?
Steph: Two months, I think.
Me: *floored by this still*
You should understand that this is the same friend who got married last July. She's 19. And she's married. And she's having a BABY. A LITTLE HUMAN BEING. I am so very excited for her, because her and her husband are adorable and they're going to have such a cute little family, but I'm thinking, huh, I feel so old/young at the same time.
I'm in school and can barely carry a relationship to save my life and yet...my friend is already married and having a baby. Like, holy crap.
I know marriage and babies are for different people and different ages, but still, I can't help feeling wistful. I don't want a baby right now, or a husband, but I want her kind of happiness. If that makes sense.
Damn you, hormones.
