Does this mean I'm getting old...?
I go on Facebook now and see so many people that are getting engaged and announcing their pregnancies. The oddest part about this is that they are all my age, if not younger! I work with a couple, who are my age, who have been together for a year and got married within that year. It is so odd to me! Good for them that they actually found someone they are SURE they want to be with forever! But here I am, (yes I have a boyfriend, and it will be going on two years in December) I'm not even thinking about being engaged or married or pregnant. The funny thing is, when I was a child I thought I would be married by now, trying to have a baby like my parents did. NOT EVEN CLOSE!!! The thing I am looking forward to is finishing college at the end of this semester. The couple I mentioned earlier just announced THEY ARE PREGNANT!!! and they figured their conception date was three days after their wedding... WHAT!? I must be getting old.

Becca! This is so true! I totally agree with you. Every time I go on Facebook or Twitter I notice the same things. It’s so crazy. Sometimes I wonder how different my life would be in difference circumstances. My parents were married at my age as well, and I could not imagine being at that stage right now, although they waited many years to have kids. I feel that we are still so young and have so much to do before we settle down. Haha. But yes we are getting old and we are long into the journey of life, but I think it just goes to show that we are all so different.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Becca I totally agree! I am constantly seeing engagements and baby announcements on Facebook. Two of my best friends are getting married next summer/fall. I feel like I'm not old enough for this! I am constantly reminding myself that I have the rest of my life to be married, have kids, and be a 'real' adult. For now, I'm just trying to enjoy my last semester as a college student. We need to enjoy it while we can!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more! The majority of my friends that I actually hang out with are either married, have a kid, or are engaged. It's crazy!! I feel way too young to be wanting to get married or have kids but at the same time I feel like I should be at that step in my life because so many people I graduated with are already married or having kids. I've been dating my boyfriend for 5 years already which has me feeling like it's time to get engaged and move to that next step but we're both still young and I just want to focus on graduating college and finding a good job. Weddings and babies are expensive!! I am incredibly happy for my friends who are married, getting married, and/or starting a family but yikes makes me feel old and young at the same time! Glad I'm not the only one haha.
ReplyDeleteHey Becca I feel you I myself got married about a month ago and I can tell for sure that we are growing up and we are certainly getting older than the previous day but a I think is more about what each and all of us want. Some people think they are ready to settle and other not, it all depend on us. Don't be stressed by the fact that people that people around are getting married and having kid focus more on what is getting you happy.
