Left Out

Recently it seems that every girl I went to high school with is either, in a serious relationship, engaged, or married, and I just graduated in '06. I can't help but feel a little left out. Like maybe there is some secret meeting or club that I'm never invited to. It's very strange to see everyone that I've known pretty much all my life change so quickly. Meanwhile, I'm at school pursuing my education, thinking about law school, and contemplating transferring to Boston, Mass. I know that I'm not doing the wrong thing, in fact I'm doing the right thing by furthering my education and whatnot, I just feel that somehow, somewhere along the way I didn't pick up that valuable piece of information everyone else seems to be so well read on. I've been so headstrong about my future I've paid absolutely no attention to the present and I believe I am paying for that now. I know there is no way to make up for lost time but maybe I can make the rest of my years worthwhile. I'm only 20, I hope I have the time that suggests. It's not that I want to be married at this age, I'm just wondering if I skipped the part where I was told it was a requirement. As for the relationship thing, I'll probably be the old lady at the end of the street with 57 cats all named Bob. But they say that good things come to those who wait, I guess I'll keep on waiting.

Eh..do you really want to be married at 20? I'm 21 and I'm happy to be single...it's more fun.
But yeah, I know what you mean by EVERYBODY having kids and getting married. Looking at that does make me feel pretty old. If all else fails I'll live next door when we become crazy cat ladies and we can talk about kitties on the front porch! lol

Chicka, you keep doing what you're doing. The relationship things comes with time. And in reference to you and manda, neither of you will be crazy cat ladies. Keep your head up, and keep focused things will happen in good time.
