i'm going through a quarter life crisis
I am 21 years old.
My mom got married at 23 and had her first kid (me) at 26. I've always known that and never really thought anything weird of it, since after all, that does seem like the approximate age one would start having a family. What I do think is weird that when I think about it, I WILL BE 23 IN TWO YEARS. Oh hi? Should we put that into perspective? What was I doing two years ago? I was in college, working full time, goofing off and going on road trips with Annie and hanging out with Josh. Does this sound familiar? Well, it should, because that was basically, YESTERDAY, FOOL. God, I was 16 and being my retarded self just last week and that was FIVE YEARS AGO.
I guess what started my freak out is all these new notifications on Facebook and MySpace and such. God, baby announcements are popping up left and right. Remember BFF Lindsey from senior year and freshman year of college? I think she actually had her baby already. That whore Erica I was friends with junior year? Knocked up. Oriana? Tawni? Home girls both have bun in the ovens. Hell, that Stephanie chick from my cooking class actually got herself military married like a year ago. All these girls were in my graduating class. WHAT THE EFFING HELL?
Now, don't get wrong, just like every other stereotypical girl out there, I've had my baby names and bridesmaid dresses picked out since kindergarten. I've always fantasied about the traditional marrying fairly young, being a housewife, white picket fence, etc. shenanigans but now that I'm actually getting to that age, I AM FREAKING OUT, MAN. *runs away screaming*
I don't want to grow up. I'm a Toys R Us kid.
