And the beat goes on

It's weird for me to think about all of the changes and turns life makes for people my age. I'm too used to having all of these things be far into the future, like graduating college, and marriage, and babies. Now so many of the people that I grew up with and changed with are graduated, and engaged, and have babies of their own. I can't get used to the idea of it. It's strange for me to think of. I know it shouldn't be.

There's so much wedding talk as of late. Two of my cousins got married this year, so weddings are the talk of the family. My mom keeps telling me to look to those weddings for inspiration for my own. She's convinced I'll be married very soon. I don't know where she gets these ideas from.

I guess it's not weird that my cousins are getting married. Most of them are several years older than I, and I think that they're all quite ready for it. I just remember the time when none of us were married, or even thinking about marriage. The way time passes. Hm.

It's that time of life when these things happen. It's like a reality check for me, time telling me I'm getting older. These things are supposed to happen now, but it's all so surreal. I feel like this shouldn't be happening yet; I'm not mentally prepared for it.

Don't get me wrong; I'm really happy for my friends who are engaged and married and starting families of their own. I think it's great. It just makes me think.

It makes me think more about my future wedding and all of the stupid little details. More than that, it makes my mom think about weddings. Even my dad's gotten swept up in the fever. Even my mom's friends are all convinced that she'll be marrying me off any day now. Ugh.

I don't even know.

I need to get on that job hunt. For serious.
