I decided to pen this post because I was once again alerted to the fact that if I don't do something now, no one and no time would wait for me. Just as I was reminiscing with a close friend about the freedom of frivolity during the time we were still in uniforms, it is humbling to know that there wouldn't be the hassle-free skirt, blouse and high socks for school everyday; nor will there be morning announcements that ensure we were up to date with changes. Spoon feeding was so 2008. I wish they'd bring it back.
I also realize that long-term relationships-one not borne out of lust or curiosity but respect and maturity-are beginning to surface with people my brother's age. And then all my upshot talk about not needing a partner and not wanting to settle down goes about halfway out the window. I only said all those things because to me being in a relationship has this special responsibility that I am afraid I cannot live up to. But now seeing them handle it like the young adults they are that I am not makes me ashamed.
Signing off,
Potential Spinster
