For the " older crowd" 25ish and up.....

---

LOL like that is old!!! But I am feeling that way lately...actually since I hit like 25...only 29 now.Ok, hard to explain, but for some reason I am actually getting scared of getting older...like I haven't accomplished enough yet, or something..ugh so confusing. I KNOW I am still young, but when did it hit the rest of you that you actally have a life span???I get depressed about that sometimes, wondered if it was common. It's not that I am turning 30 this year, its been there too long.

I am not 25 or older, but half your problem is you need to stop chasing pepsi trucks. You may be in great shape, but you need to focus on your life.

LOL!! Pepsi chases down the bj's...I don't have to chase the trucks, my bf does..anyway. I have focus, but it is on the family...are you saying that I just need to seek out something that is just mine?

Well yeah. You have to keep your main focus on the family, always, but you also need to have something that is for you. Do something in your schedule that allows you to be with friends and enjoy yourself. because being a parent does not mean you cannot enjoy yourself, it just means that the family is gonna come first. So find something fun that does not hurt you or your family and enoy it.Just keep them first because I have seen too many of my friends leave home because their parents decided that they needed to be first and they became too selfish. But I do not think you will do that.

I know how you feel. I just turned 25 a couple weeks ago and feel terribly old. Especially when my boyfriend said I was half way to 50 now. For me I think it's facing the fact that I can't screw around anymore. Like I can't call off work just because I feel like it.

always make time to screw around.I that "oh oh" moment came for me when the ratio of my age to retirement age changed. I mean that the number of years until 65 is no longer greater than my age.

shit and I am scared to turn 20. Seems a bit unfounded now.

pup!

hey now. For only turning 20, I believe I have a very good aspect of life. Most in part to you guys, but none the less. I do act a bit older than my age, don't I?

I can't really tell how old you act. I'm more jeuvenile now than I was at 20

i guess that is good......oh well

Geeeze!!! life oh mighty... Love the replies guys...so it isn't just me...I just get SOOO lost sometimes, in the what does it all mean and what am I doing it for...boils down to the kiddos for now, but then what...maybe this will help U understand more...My oldest is 11 1/2 yrs old...you do the math..I got an education, only an AA, still take classes working on my BA but, I guess...I just wish..I got to really be a kid..Now I feel like MY life is starting to waste away, and my kiddos are gonna be gone so soon, and then what? Am I just like pms-ing here or what? I am freakin about retirement and all that!!! I DO have fun! BBQs and bonfires, friends and family, college, 4x4ing, horses. There is alot there, but...just feeling like I should have already done MORE!By the way walkin...you are still a pup, but your pretty grown up sounding when it comes down to some of your posts I read!!!

I would not worry about it. You are in a different stage in your life now. You can have fun, but have done plenty already.

Im 16 and even I have sometimes that feeling of being old. It fin makes me sad thinking about finishing high school

Done alot, do alot...I FEEL 16, but KNOW Im not..and can't act it...GEE well THANX!!! I think your right walkin, just a different phase, takes a little adjusting maybe? Or alot of adjusting...I guess I will just get ready for the party when the kiddos fly the coop...

I am always right.

Said I guess your right..LOL, still feeling under accomplished...I even missed taking a class this semester..I SHOULD have that BA by now...I SHOULD have a decent career going, I woulda coulda shoulda, but damn...Still feeling like its passing me up sometimes, Will I EVER get there, I don't want to be like one of the 50 yr olds going to community college just to say I got edubakated.....

you have lost me now. You are in school and you want your BA but you only have your AA?

He has an Associates, but he's working on his Bachelor's now. I'm going to be 24 in a few months and I feel old as well...but my life is going in a great direction so I'm happy.

I've reached the classical "mid-life crisis" at which you realise that most of your dreams aren't ever going to happen, because you've got over halfway through your useful life and haven't got anywhere near them. And your career doesn't seem to be going anywhere but you're too old to get employment elsewhere . . .
