So, I've moved in, this daunting chapter has begun. I've more or less hit a wall. It's that moment when you realize that you're 24, single, no job, no degree...on the fast track to "cat lady", with very little left to hold on to....
That's not even to mention the social pressure. Between the oh-so-subtle hints from home that I ought find myself a man, to the world screaming that people my age are suppose to be in the job market, they're suppose to have their degrees and either be working on post-graduate degrees or actually in the field...and there I am, the struggling student. All of this along with my move...my insecurities are running a little high these days.
But hey, I suppose I should look on the bright side. That's what folks tell me anyway. So...I'm bigger than a lot of you wee-folk out there (I will step on you!), I'm part zombie...and that's cool(ish)...AND my embittered diatribes seem to amuse some. So...way to go me.
If you EVER feel like you're "behind" in the Game of Life, you need only look as far as your sister... Who at [nearly] 28 years old, is childless, nearly jobless, still has no degree, isn't even going to a real school, and, well, you're fully aware of how successfully "everything else" in my life is going. ;p
