Today I had a realization while having some coffee with my friend Kate. Time is flying.
It was funny how when the topic of people we graduated with had been having kids, getting engaged, and even married was brought up. We both had similar thoughts and views that maybe we were falling behind. Now, obviously being 20 years old this isn’t true, it is just some people are moving faster/ready sooner/able to do these things. To be entirely honest, I don’t think I would mind being engaged.. The married and kids part not so much obviously. However, when some of your closest friends are getting engaged, or even already married you start to feel like maybe you should be trying a little harder. Well, at least I have felt like that for a while now. I don’t think that I really need to be trying harder but sometimes I feel like I should be.
It is so crazy how as each year of life passes, time begins to move faster and faster. The things you experience become almost like a timeline of lifes pattern. It’s like, your growing up, people start “dating”, then it gets into the partying, then the drinking, then some people fall victim to drugs, then graduation from high school and life really kicks in. People go off to college, some people end up having kids, some people get engaged and married.. then as time keeps going more and more people start repeating the last few. Then before you know it your 50-60 and your kids are having kids, then people you know start dying of old age. Now, obviously this timeline is long and doesn’t happen over night. I am just saying that it is a timeline that seems to be moving faster and faster as time goes on. I seriously feel like I blink and it has been 2 months.

Obviously I am not falling behind.. Just my interesting thought for the day!
