It's my good friend Valerie's birthday today, she's now 23. She used to date this guy in High School... they broke it off but remained good friends. This guy recently broke up with his girlfriend, Val and him started dating again (about a month ago), he proposed to her last night and she said yes...
Part of me is jealous, cause I see all my friends around me getting engaged and married. Part of me knows I'm in no hurry, cause I see too many of my friends get married young and then divorced... And then, because I got engaged young and things didn't work out, I don't want the same thing to happen to her...
They've been dating a month! What the hell?
So I did my friend thing, told her I didn't necessarily agree, but if she was happy and that's what she really wanted, then I was happy for her...
When you're already down and exhausted and full of anxiety about your own life though, things like this don't help... Sigh... Back to work...
