I am at that point in my life, where it's the critical moment where you really start to focus in on this 'Adulthood' thing.
I feel like, though I am making progress within my life, it's slow going. I thought I would be in the north by now, in my own apartment, living my own life the way I want to live it.
That hasn't happened.
And I'm not bummed about it. It's just, compared to everyone around me, I'm pretty much the same girl from my freshman year in college. (The first time around)
I reconnected with a friend I've known since I was in Highschool, on FB. Back then, he kind've reminded me of a Beatle. Back when they were really young and fresh faced. Lots of energy, had lots to say, had a VERY English accent, always talking about music, always talking about an Al Pacino movie, never was pervy, but had this kind've, 60's coolness to him.
I see him today....and he looks like someone's dad.
He has cut....his hair.
REPEAT.
CUT his hair.
He's even wearing Khakis. o.O
Now, I know I'm not that same girl stomping around in Harley boots and too much eye liner, but I still feel like there's a sliver of the girl I used to be, inside me. That even though I have grown up, and I'm paying bills, and I'm doing this and doing that, I am still that 17 year old girl who just wants to travel for a year and half and make new experiences. Everyone else seem to have morphed in to totally different people. They are soooo focused in on their careers (I am too, but not that damn much)Or their relationships.
Around me, everyone seems to be having babies.
Everyone seems to be getting married.
Or getting girlfriends.
Even the ones, that couldn't stake their LIFE on getting a girl to even say Hi.
I'm 24.
It's 2014.
I'm still in this city.
Still living with my mom.
Still going to U of H (but studying something entirely different from my previous degree)
I'm still mommy #2
I haven't had a single boyfriend all year. (Which is new, but I'm actually liking it)
It just feels weird to be the only one standing still at the moment, when I wasn't always....like...this.
I hate talking to old friends or family members, because they always ask if I had a job (Which, seriously? That's next to impossible at the moment) Or if I'm dating someone. None of that is happening. None of that is GOING to happen, for a looooong time.
When is this going to end. 4 years?
I don't think so.

LOL, I can't WAIT for the day!
At least people my age will have a valid reason for wearing Khakis. :P |

I must be older than I thought, I don't understand that at all?
Khaki is heavy cloth, usually worn by the military for it's endurance and strength, so you'll have to explain that comment for me, please?
Don't be in a hurry to get here though, the journey has been fun but it's around now that you start to pay the piper for all the dancing ya did along the way, and the price can be high, especially if you danced hard !
It does have it's advantages though, as a respectable(lol) old guy I can waltz into any dealership and take any super-expensive or powerful fancy motorbike for a spin, which I do any time I'm bored, cars too, and they don't call the cops if I'm gone for a couple of hours either!
Meet a nice lady? Pick out a flash cruiser or sportscar, go have a picnic and a snog, then return it, no worries cobber, and I don't even have to wash it! |
