Hope you found your keys.<br /><br />Not Fearing- I'm looking forward to those posts! I have to say I feel about 18 at least.<br /><br />Should Be- Thanks! I plan on not stepping on glass in the near future. <br /><br />katrina- Glass in the wrist sounds very dangerous. Easier to walk but quite scary. You have agood point about acting old and feeling young. I can try. <br /><br />Michael- I am pretty good about sittig around and realizing things happened a while ago. Sounds like a plan.<br /><br />CSG- I am all about consumption maybe I just need to relax about that a bit. I do tend to enjoy things Thanks!<br /><br />Shadow- Words of wisdom once again. <br /><br />Friend- Yeah when we were 20 we were some dumb ass youth, but productive youth with plans. Traveling isn't incompatible with nesting but it can be harder cause byuing a nest and buying travel are both crappy. I can see you now "30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 AAAHHH I'm 29 it's my 29th birthday"<br /><br />Julie- Iowa and pig farming sounds awful but that's case I've never even mowed a lawn. I'm really glad to know I'm not alone in this though. Chicago is one of those real comfortable places where you can not love it but be content enough to stay. But why is it so expensive? Anyway, getting marrie dis such a grow-up thing to do. Yo uare well on your way.Foofahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490919763408427647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31809533.post-53344588785530106582007-01-04T11:50:00.000-06:002007-01-04T11:50:00.000-06:00I relate to a lot of things you just said.

Like word for word, I thought I reading my own writing when you spoke of the cost of buying a house, is Chicago really where I want to be, etc. And growing up? I felt the same way at 20 - that I just couldn't wait to be a "grown up". And for what? So I can have a day job at a beauty school and be in plays sometimes? I still don't know what the hell I want. Maybe I'll move to rural Iowa and start a pig farm. Mmmm...bacon.

I remember those days, and we were some dumb ass youth. Then again, in a lot of ways we were more productive than we are now, so I sort of get it. Full of promise and whatnot. Maybe I'm weird, but I don't have the desire to nest. If anything, I feel antsy because I should be seeing more of the world or something while I still have my youth. Perhaps I'm deluding myself and I'll have a complete breakdown at 30. We'll see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31809533.post-56593043000970577792007-01-04T03:49:00.000-06:002007-01-04T03:49:00.000-06:00I think at 20 your so busy trying to be serious an...I think at 20 your so busy trying to be serious and grown up that you feel old and want to seen as mature etc but as you get older your forget to care and get to be a kid againShadowFalconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705530281109481071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31809533.post-51983544587093354072007-01-04T03:01:00.000-06:002007-01-04T03:01:00.000-06:00Wow, I think we all feel the same.

Our parents didn't have all the spare time we do. <br /><br />I'm 31, with husband and own home (60m2 condo). But still, I don't feel a grownup. I actually enjoy not feeling a grownup. You look great, so I guess you also enjoy it!CrazySpanishGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424491357466282252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31809533.post-28310673182795020952007-01-03T23:21:00.000-06:002007-01-03T23:21:00.000-06:00As I sat in a restaurant with my wife and twins wh...As I sat in a restaurant with my wife and twins who are now 4 last night, I had thoughts about growing up. I'm still a big kid, but must also be an adult now with kids who are growing up so fast. It's pretty surreal. You go through the momentous occaisions in your life one day and then wake up to realize you must've grown up at some point.<br />;-)Michael Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18007864829010402376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31809533.post-83537174134926840942007-01-03T23:15:00.000-06:002007-01-03T23:15:00.000-06:00That glass story reminded me of one of my own.

Glad to here it's out and you're doing better.<br /><br />I'm late but...Happy New Year!<br /><br />I'm going to be 37 in March and I don't feel like a grownup yet. I act like one when I need to but I don't feel it and don't want to. <br /><br />I do have a home and a husband though, that's part of the acting like one part. Heh<br /><br />So stay young but act grown up when needed, it's the best way to be.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678797562076346356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31809533.post-37122072419910320322007-01-03T21:22:00.000-06:002007-01-03T21:22:00.000-06:00Love the pic.

Much thanks to To...Glad to hear the glass is out! <br /><br />Much thanks to Tony for his help.<br /><br />You definitely seem to have entered an interesting area of life. From my perspective, you were an <i>extremely</i> goal-oriented kid and you pursued your aims with single-minded persistence rarely seen in one so young. Probably you needed a several-years break from feeling, perhaps, over-driven? Whatever you decide for your next steps, I know it will be fantastic. Because you are fantastic. And remember, you can <i>always</i> form new goals whenever the old ones no longer feel right.<br /><br />As for my own journey, well, I've got all sorts of ideas. But I can't find my house and car keys. Hmm. (smile. just kidding. but really, I honestly don't know where my keys are.)<br /><br />Love,<br />MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
