I'm from a small town. Therefore, everytime I come home I am reminded of this. Why? Because EVERYONE is engaged, married, pregnant, or have children. I say, STOP THE MADNESS PEOPLE! We are ONLY in our early twenties! Jesus people, we have our late twenties and all of our thirties to settle down.
I'm not saying we should be partying it up every night - I am definitely not like that. But before I want to make a life with someone, I want to have a life of my own. I want to get my career in the right path and have a little time for myself before I give up my "freedom" as a legally single woman. Me and Cody are having a lot of fun together, along with having a blast growing up and learning things and having our own life experiences as well as experiences as a couple. We've been together 4 years - long enough to be considering marriage. And we will, one day when we are both settled and prepared and ready for a healthy, fun, exciting, financially stable marriage.
I'm not saying that everyone I know who is married shouldn't be..theres no one that I am really pointing this blog out to, i've just heard so many people getting married and engaged that I had to stop and remind myself before I started to have an anxiety attack that i am just 21 years old, and it is not statistically normal for this to be happening.
Some of my married friends are doing so great! Stacy, for example, is doing so well and I am so proud of her. I think she's been ready to be settled down since we were in high school. She's doing an awesome job as a mom and I really admire her for it.
Ah well, spur of the moment thought. More later.
