Y'know. I have nothing against people who feel like their own life is fulfilled by getting married and having kids and all that, but I DO have something against them shoving that in my face and making me feel like less of a person because I'm not married with kids at 27.

Because, hey, maybe I don't actually want that right now, or maybe I'll never want it! Maybe I like having my own freedom! Maybe I like the job they say I'm too tied down with! Maybe THAT is fulfilling to me!

And maybe I don't appreciate being made to feel like a complete joke all night.

ARGH!

Maybe taking up that offer to meet up with old school friends here in Heartland tonight wasn't such a great idea.

I'dddd say something but I get the feeling anything I say would come off as weird hypocrisy.

Honestly, you're free to say what you like.
I'm mostly just blowing off steam. I kinda had to keep this in for 2 hours straight.

Well. My kid sister's like 25-26. And she's perfectly happy working for SAI as a high ranking personal assistant, and collecting occult books. So. Not like you're wrong but ugh, that sounds annoying. Says the somewhat rich mom actively dating and holds a job.

You and your sister are a good example of how differently people can view what's fulfilling to them in their own life.

I just wish some people weren't so close minded that they think what's fulfilling for them, should be fulfilling for everyone, then force that ideal on them.

To be honest, I had a kid a LOT earlier than I wanted, but I chose to own up to the fact of having one and have tried to be a good mom, in spite of it, so I'm not exactly like your friends. But nothing wrong with being a career oriented investigative journalist. World needs 'em.
