There's nothing like a warm summers evening, its 19:40, there is no wind, a bottle of Boschrivier Shiraz 2003, alone, in a double hammock, passing the time on the net, waiting for the full moon and the sun is still up - updating my blog?
I am sure you heard of "waking up on the wrong side of the bed" but what about "Waking up on the wrong side of the Birthday calendar"???
By that I mean I'm slowly dreading each day I wake up knowing that I'm another day closer to being labeled as a 25 year old…
The thought makes me:
On a brighter note, it is only a 1/3 of an average human being’s lifetime. That to me means, your foundation shudda been built by now Anna! Whether it be a degree certificate, drivers licence, your own home, your ideal job - you supposedly should have done something along this line...or so society thinks...
You see, when I attended school for the first time back in 1987, I was only 5 years of age. So by the time that you completed your secondary education, you are 17, then do a degree and completed studies at 20/21 years old?
Do they honestly expect someone THAT young to be all that focused? I certainly wasn’t! and still aren’t – well fully that is…so made me decide to be focused? Well, being that young and working and living on your own, you tend to NOT save, open many clothing accounts, etc etc so at 23 you start working on your debt that you have accumulated and by the end of 24, you just about fixed yourself up again…
I wouldn’t have been able to do it without my financial advisor TJC – a true friend who taught me responsibility and how to work hard & be patient for expensive necessities. At this point in your life you have over 100 names saved in your cellphone directory but only used 5 of it for the last year or so – YES, your friends list has diminished! They have either (1) found a partner & possibly gotten married already and has now ditched you or (2) they moved away, or (3) mostly I feel its because you are no longer a benefit to them because you are saving your money and not spending it on them.I know it sounds harsh, but friends (and especially the females) can stab you SO hard in the neck, back and throat just to ensure you felt it!
I have heard from 3 people this year already that I haven’t been in contact with for over a year. One in particular (DVS) was in a relationship with this chick that wouldn’t allow him to have any friends - needless to say that they have just broken up and he was wondering how I was. Him having been the 3rd that I spoke to, I drew the assumption that everyone is always “no im fine thanks” and “I just chill at home and I don’t party anymore” and “I’m enjoying my job” and “No I don’t drink anymore”…am I supposed to be lying to myself too or am I like so different than others that I really have to get with the programme?
It has been proven: "Younger adults associated aging with major events in their lives, and even though these events tended to be positive, aging had a negative meaning for them. Young adults tended to associate aging with increased responsibility and lost freedom." - I absolutely do not feel that I will be losing my freedom cause I already have and so then could I safely assume that I am over the negativity too as I strive to always lead a positive life? I am sure it won't be too bad...crossing fingers
