>People seem to get less happy with age. I’m an early twenties looking upon late twenties and wondering: “Will that be me?”

I miss the gatherings that I used to have when I was younger, the friends who all used to be able to chill with each other — without issues, no drama. I’m also seeing those that made bad decisions around my age, those decisions having turned their life upside down, and causing regrets. The current “thing” seems to be marriage. I could have told ya that. =]

I’m determined in my declaration of no marriage before 30. I used to say 32, but 32 is perfect for kids. Don’t ask me why, it just seems a good age to shoot for. Besides, they’re my rules and I can break them at any time — just won’t happen until about that time. I don’t want to be “stuck” by someone else’s fault, I want to know that if I’m in a place I don’t want to be: it’s because of my own actions.

I see a lot of people my age who live in the now, not knowing what they should be doing, then a lot of older people living in the now while all the time knowing what they should be doing and fully ignoring it. It makes me sad to see mother’s not with their children. Choosing the nightlife, being out and about to spending time with their kids. Kids shouldn’t be a burden, most of the burden that I see is financial… and patience.

I want to have the bunch of people I used to have, all chilling together, talking to anyone… being sociable and creating new connections. It seems no one is going at the same pace, it’s hard to sync up anymore. I’m attempting to get some people together for this evening, probably tickle-me-XBoxen… but I’m game for anything. =]
