Getting "old"
I'm somewhere in that awkward stage between spring chicken
and summer hen. Ugh. Getting old. I still feel like the same spring chicken I
was 5 years ago but the only differences so far are if I don’t work out for a
week I'm fat, people are always asking why I don’t have children/husband and my
bones creak. Yeah. I’ve had 2 gray hairs and the pressure to “have it all
together” is on 100. The wish for a time machine has increased dramatically
while the belief that one will be built has equally decreased. I’ve started to
shift away from the Forever 21 and moved toward Express. My high heel
collection has increased and the amount of them that are comfortable to wear
has definitely increased. More men with children approach me for dating
purposes and I find myself looking for men that have qualities that I could see
myself with long term, no luck so far. Random tangent, I know I'm older now,
but I don’t know if I want to become a “mom” figure overnight. Geez. It’s damn
near impossible these days to find someone over 25 who’s not a complete wreck
without babies. Anyways, it’s like even though I'm “older”, I still enjoy going
out and dancing, playing, video games, sports, rollerblading and doing the same
things I’ve done like my entire life. Like I feel the exact same, and thanks to
good genes and taking adequate care of myself I still have relatively the same
body. I took my dog rollerblading earlier and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I still watch
Family Guy, Cleveland Show, American Dad, Futurama, etc. I feel like there are
no set behaviors you have to do once you passed the age of 25 and the pressure
to conform to this is pretty intense. I understand I won’t be young forever but I'm
not going to just stop doing the things I love to do because I passed some magical
number. Apparently I'm always going to be a rebel . . . and then maybe a cougar . . . just kidding . . . for now . . .
