Sometimes I feel odd that Im not ready to settle down. Im 23, and living in university for a few more years untill Im finished my degree.
A few of my friends have just had/ are having children, and 2 couples that I am close with are getting married within the next year.
I still feel like I'm a kid. I was an only child growing up, but I was the youngest of all my cousins who I consider secondary brothers and sisters.I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I don't see the rush of growing up. I'm mature enough to make my own decisions, live by myself ( even if it is in a university setting) and have a job.
as for getting married and starting a family, the thought makes me want to scream and hide - and it has nothing to do with emet. I just feel like you only have so much time for yourself before you have so many responcibilities.
My boyfriend is always telling me I need to grow up. Is there something wrong with enjoying kid activities almost as much as kids do? I don't know, it seems to me, at least in my circle of friends, that its not the norm to not be thinking of settling down and having a family at this age.
any thoughts?
