Amen my friend. I have 3 close friends in life... One got married 3 weeks ago, and found out yesterday she is pregnant....one that bought a house last night...and one that is currently looking for a house with her fiance, whom she is marrying next may. It's a Tuesday night, I have to work at 8:30, it's 12:52am and I'm almosty totally hammered from my first ever experience drinking tequila. I'd love to dance until 4am, but...as i've already mentioned, all my friends are attached and settled, I'm limited to weeknight partying with my work buddies. Growing up DOES sound dull, and I miss the good old days. But, having said all that...sometimes it can get pretty lonely when you see what kind of happiness can come from all that "dull".
Yes, okay, I accept your thesis as valid. My point, however, is that you can be married, etc., and still have fun. It seems like everyone is in a big rush to assume the mantle of adulthood -- or at least prove that they can -- that they seem to be sacrificing everything else early.
I dunno. I'm not ready to accept that yet. And I'm still reasonably happy.
One is forced to point out the "reasonably" in the middle of that sentence.... I think you should be able to get married, etc. and still have fun as well, but at the same time, when I see people getting hitched and settling down, etc. I don't think it means they've stopped having fun...I think it means they've found something that they find more fun. To them, i don't think they see any of it as a sacrifice, its those of us that are left without those people to have "fun" with, and that aren't in a place to have THEIR kind of fun, that see it as a sacrifice. Its hard to envision myself being happy doing what all my friends are doing...but I do hope someday I find someone that I want to settle with, and that wants to settle with me, so I can see what all the fuss is about. But then, thats the 'natural' progression of life I suppose.
