So the last few birthdays I have just dreaded getting older. I hate it and I get all upset about it. Well this year I am having a better attitude about it. 27 really isn't old. I mean Paris Hilton is only like 26, right? I am young!
I think that I have just felt older since having kids. I mean I had Collin when I was 22. (A month shy of 23.) That's really young to have kids. I guess my thinking is somewhere in between being a "Utah Mormon" and being a regular member of society. A lot of my friends from Utah got married young and had kids right away. Then I have friends all over the country that didn't get married so young and waited to have kids.
I know that I have done what works for me and that's all that really counts. I have done a lot of exciting things in my life so far and I don't plan on stopping! Maybe in another blog I will list all the exciting things I have seen and done. :)
I have a new lease on life and I am going to stop worrying about getting older and just enjoy being whatever age I am! I am not normal, but you know what, I never have been! I am going to start having more fun every day.
I feel your pain. I will be 27 next month, and am having issues. I feel old, but add to that people judging me for being almost 27 with no kids! I agree with you, people should do what works for them!
ReplyDeleteYou have always hated getting older. You are so funny. I remember being so excited to turn 18, you not so much.
ReplyDeleteI have decided that people shouldn't be allowed to have children until they are at least 32 years of age. I was WAY to young!
man- i had a hard time turning 27... and when people ask me how old i am i don't want to tell them... is it already starting? :( i know it isn't that old but i just don't feel like i should be in my late 20's i feel like i should be in my EARLY 20's... and i had my first when i was 25 and i have friends who waited and i always wonder what life would be like if we decided to wait. (not that i regret it because i love my kids... they just make life a little more complex.)
