I know I'm only 25, but lately I've been feeling kind of anxious about my age. I mean when I think about it, 5 years ago doesn't seem that long, and 5 years from now I'll be 30. I mean I've done so little since I turned 18, and I'm getting caught up and all, but it's scary to think of my 20s ending. Maybe I'm being a bit neurotic, it's just a bit freaky thinking about how time passes, and how I'm going to have to make decisions about where I'm going, and what I want. I one day want to have a wife and at least one kid, but at what point should I start worrying about the fact that someone I'm involved with who is 7 years younger doesn't want marriage or children (we are far from that stage of course, but what about the point of no return where you fall for someone?)? I mean I know that I won't be in any kind of financial shape for that kind of thing for at least another 2 or 3 years, but what happens when you fall for someone who doesn't want the same things you do? I know I'm getting ahead of myself a lot, but I also feel like I shouldn't ignore these possibilities. My mind is in overdrive right now, so forgive me, I just need to write this stuff out.
