Just this past weekend, while at a friend's house-warming party, I've had the time to (sort of) reflect on where I currently am with my life. And then it hit me.
"Remember when we used to laugh and scoff at the idea of marriage, work, adult-life, etc. when we were in high school?"
Well. Not so funny anymore. That's where my friends and I currently stand. Friends currently finishing off their degrees, friends currently working full-time in areas related to their field of interest, friends in long-term and great relationships, some getting married, some married and expecting, those new parents and some buying their first homes.
I look around and see all of this within the circle of friends that I currently have and can't help but wonder, "Where do I stand and fit in all of this?" My life seems like such a jungled mess of confusion and not-so-clear paths that can be taken.
Remember what it was like to be care-free? Nope. Not at all. Definitely took those years for granted.
I guess there's a lot I still need to figure out and learn about what life has to offer... and then after a night of playing with two great little angels, I realized that only when I genuinely figure all of those things out... will it finally be my turn to laugh and not be afraid of the idea of all of the above.
What are your "Remember when we..." moments?
Cheers,
C.
