say something about ... yourself!

[Tide In Mind Out]

....and that's just the thing: "at young age". I agree with you David, and I agree with neal... 100%
As much as I think that being a "young parent" is great, if I have to put that on one side of the scale, and every amazing thing I have experienced in the past 8 years since I turned 20, I would have to say the side of the past eight years of great wonderful moments, is a lot heavier...
Those years- no one can give you back, and many time people make decisions and regret them later when they turn 30-40 and realize that all of their 20's are gone.
(and really, the 20's will never come back)
You can always be a parent, but can you always be in your 20's?

She's not necessarily going to regret having lost time to party and whatnot. Just depends on the person - while one person might find it more worthwhile to party and have fun in their 20's, another might find it more worthwhile to start raising a family (which may be their own idea of fun). I know for a fact that my mother (who became pregnant at 19 and a mother at 20) would have regretted her 20's if she'd lived them the other way around.

If I were to have kids, I wouldn't want to wait past age 30. I'd want to be around for them as long as possible. Not that I want kids :Smug:

My dads gonna die soon cause' he's getting old. That's gonna be weird. Well, maybe not that soon.

I just can't see you two with kids, it'd be too weird.

I'm still up writing this insanely gay midterm on ideology and culture. Effin' thing is due tomorrow and I'm about a third through it. Baaah.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Couldn't sleep at all. I'm going to be exhausted today.

Anyone see Juno recently? These things work out. Once you get past how one-dimensional it may seem on the surface, all you need is love.

Juno was hillarious. Ellen Page has some fucking talent.

Oh I know Cara, definitely, and that's why I said I'm not judging her or telling her what to do. I just wanted to bring all the aspects of arguments into the discussion...
and when I say "wonderful things in my 20's" I really don't mean "parties and booze" :Smug:
I mean, traveling the world, etc... (will not specify more than that, because what's the point? )

It is a personal decision after all.

 

[Jeff-Loomis-fan]

true...i will be studying most of my 20's probable....but seriously gonna see something of the world...if i find cash to do so

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

well, i'm in my 20's and in no position to travel the world. if i don't have a job, i don't have the money to do so. if i'm off traveling all the time, well then i wouldn't have a job

eh i think i've got angina or something. every time i get really stressed, my heart hurts. for dayyyys. i couldn't even sleep on my left side at all last night

ps - i see raven browsing the forum!!

 

[JenniferGentle]

Ahh that is definitely not good Cara!

Yeah, I always had too many responsibilities and attachments to just be able to go travel, also never had enough money to cover all bases. I mean, if I really look at it, it could easily be done. I could go somewhere if I wanted to, but I'm content where I am, and to live very comfortably, maybe that's sad? Haha. I don't know I still enjoy going on holiday.

I've got a similar problem, it's pretty scary. My heart will start to hurt and I'm about to faint every few minutes/seconds. I should probably see a doctor but I'm kinda afraid of a certain diagnosis. I hope it's "just" a blood pressure issue or something with the circulation.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

well then, we'll see who outlives who!

yeah we should see doctors though

 

[JenniferGentle]

CPF would be a said holiday I am very much hoping to still be going, but I'd only want to go if my boyfriend came with, and we'd be driving. So, it depends on whether or not he can take the time off from work. But I hope so!

 

[JenniferGentle]

yeah we should see doctors though

for both of you I hope it's nothing too serious despite it sounding sort of worrisome. You should see doctors, and try to just relax, de-stress and try to remain more calm! ::hugs::

 

[Captain Beard]

So, tardhome guy called me back, and he can't hire me as a PT. His bosses said no way in hell.
He'd only be allowed to pay me 10.75 an hour, and I could only work 4 days a week.

There went that job. I hope my prison interview the 20th works out, or I'm fucked.

 

[JenniferGentle]

Bleh that sucks David, good luck I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

I'd work 4 days a week for 10.75 an hour

That sucks though, hope your opportunity at the prison works out

Thanks Jen - I think this is all due to new job jitters. I DREAD being on my feet for 8 hours tomorrow & not knowing what I'm doing.

Thanks! It's gotten a bit better the last few weeks, so yeah, we'll see...

Sucks man! At least they don't keep you hanging in there for weeks - yeah I Know that's small comfort...

Hope that prison thing will work out for you! What did you apply for? A warden?
