undeniably, i am in my own phase right now, whether or not my "busy" life can mask it. today i found out a close friend got engaged. and it's exactly at these moments in time when you can't really say, "what? i thought we were still 18." not that people don't get married/engaged at 18, but at my 18, i was having fun in school and still floating off somewhere.
but not everyone around me, i've noticed, at my age really notices the glaring signs that are telling you, you're getting older. grow up.
the first telling sign is facebook. sure you might get 300+ updates a day or every hour or whatever facebook's push speed is, but if you scroll down and you find little hearts here and there, it means someone's either in a relationship, got engaged, or got married. probably the latter two in our day and stage (and you probably start hearing yourself talk like an old person...). secondly, you start day dreaming with friends (and even just by yourself) even more about getting married and having babies, if there was ever such a thing for girls!! and then comes that last and final stage where i think shows that you're really in trouble, you start wondering when its going to be your turn to post on facebook that, (__person__) is engaged to (__person__) and then for no apparent reason you start getting angry at your other half wondering why the hell he hasn't been as romantic as so-and-so's boyfriend (but all this is kaput if you don't have a boyfriend to begin with, sorry to say).
its sad how fast life moves on without you. first thing, you find yourself yanked out of a warm liquid womb. then you're somewhere on the road trying to learn to drive the right way. then you're going to college and living the life. or so you thought until you get married and find your kids a pain in the butt. then you realize you're up there watching people cry over your wooden casket because you went away.
