[i][b]As one grows older, one becomes wiser and more foolish. - - - - François, Duc de La Rochefoucauld[/b][/i]
My birthday is coming up. Friday actually. I will be 33. I have given up lying about my age. People have a very hard time believing I have a 16 year old daughter when I tell them I am only 29. And she refuses to lie and tell people she is only 12. So, I am trying to embrace my age. I actually hate this time of year because I start thinking about my life and where I want it to go. I mean, when my parents were this age, they seemed so old and mature. I look back and think they really had it together. They knew who they were, and where they were going in life. At least it seems like they did. I keep wondering, when am I going to grow up. I am over 30 and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I somehow keep thinking that even though I have been at this job for over 3 years, it's just temporary until I figure out what I really want to be. Is it normal not to feel grown up? I mean, I am married with two children, a great, if somewhat boring, job, and I still feel like the character in the movie Big. A kid trapped in an adult body. Is it because I am a product of the 80's? The so-called selfish, give me more generation? Is the problem that I am never satisfied; that I know there is something bigger and better out there so I, like the girl in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, [i]want it now[/i]? I don't think so. I think that we all grow up with an idea of what it is to be an adult. As little kids we play house, or army, or school, or cops and robbers, or even doctor because we are playing out our ideas of adulthood. But that's just what it is, an idea. Maybe we all feel a little let down because we grew up with an idea of what life will be like that we are completely unprepared to deal with what life really is...a great big unscripted movie where no one has been given the plot or their lines, only their character and setting.

Also, I know how you feel about the age age thing: my daughter is 14 and I'm 31. Go figure ....

I always feel that way too but I always thought it was because I am not married and dont have kids. *shrug*

I get like that a bit, but has absolutely nothing to do with age or having or not having kids...
Happy Birthday today lol! Many happy returns and best wishes for the day! :)
