I like how you did this in verse form.

Aaaah to be so young. Trust me, unfortunately, life is like a freight train, it roars pass you faster than you can imagine. Enjoy it now, because you will be 30 before you know it.

Try not to worry about the parents/grandparents they all want you to settle down and be married, they only are thinking out for you. I got married but still have no kids, after a while the relatives stopped asking me "when are you having children". Thank goodness.

[privatexenemy]

Thanks. :)

I just woke up one dayh and just realized that I've been alive for a while now.. but I guess I'm still a young'un. ^^; It's always good to know that life goes quickly. . . .. and that I'll be sporting a cane someone in the future.

It's always good to know that it'll stop soon. I honestly think my grandparents are nagging me because they're getting really old.. but I still have so much that I want to do. =/

I really liked this. :)Don't worry too much about where you're going - it's the journey that makes it worthwhile.

Thanks. It's a very long walk ... xD; You know, your sn looks familiar. Did you ever particpate in angesiconawards or bishounenawards or one of those icon challenges by chance? I swear I've seen you around before. xD; I'm publicxenemy in the icon making world. :)

[ergo_ego]

*grins* Nope, wasn't me.

[privatexenemy]

ok.. must be someone with a very similar sn. ^^; oh well. i guess it's because i noticed that it looked like you were part of some icon communities. xD;

take care down under!

Beautiful writing and very strong emotions. It does get unnerving during this stage of life when relatives bombard you with different demands. But no matter the outcome, we shall enjoy life's journey to the fullest :D

[privatexenemy]

Thanks. It's hard because my grandparents are pretty traditional, so they have this mentality that we should be married by our mid-twenties or something. xD;

[tweety_ich]

so don't tell them that my aunt is going to be 50 next year. Unmarried and happy!!! XD

[privatexenemy]

yeah, i have a grandaunt that isn't married, she has a boyfriend.

but... i guess it's more of the fact that they want their genes to be passed on. that's how chinese families are like. ^^;

[izabera]

Marriage and children may or may not happen but isn't it better to focus on yourself and try to make some of your dreams come true? Following your own heart makes you happier than living up to your family's expectations.
So continue being you!

My great-aunt used to call me an old maid when I was 20 and unmarried (she herself got married at 14 O.o).

[privatexenemy]

thanks for the note. ♥

yeah, it's more like my grandparents kind of want the name to get passed on.. and the genes.. .and they want bragging rights.

though, they know i'm way too proud to be cooperative.

Hej there,
I'm 21 years OLD! And feel like a little kid sometimes. I really think its not so much your REAL age but how one behaves and looks at life. Once the stress (interviews and not knowing what to do with the time/ life one has) is over things become much easier and brighter. REALLY!!!
And hej, congratualtions! You are still yourself! I think this is the most important thing EVER. Take care of that one!

(And be sure, there are others out there who feel the same. You are not alone!)

[privatexenemy]

thanks for the note. ♥

yeah, it's just that preparation for the real life. i just wanted to write down some feelings before i forget to do it. :)
