I received an e-mail from Mamiko Kugimiya. She was among my best friends back there in Kyushuu, and I had not know a lot about her life after we moved to Tokyo. She's now married, working as a secretary in an Osaka enterprise... and is about to take a maternity leave since her first child will be born in few weeks ago.
I'm happy for her. But it got me thinking... So many women my age are already married with kids, or having stable works. And I'm still in university, single and, apparently, in my way to become a Christmas Cake.
Such a stark contrast, huh?
