Last Few Hours As An Early Twenties Chick

At the strike of midnight, I will be 25. I still cannot believe that it's just around the corner. So why am I so bothered by this? Well I guess it's cause I'm starting to feel the pressure of the people around me. So many of my friends have partners, have gotten married and already have a few kids. I have neither of these. As much as I know I'm not ready to be in the position of getting married and having kids on the agenda, I'm feeling the pressure as the family have questioned when I will be giving them a baby to play with [it's been years since we've had a baby in the family. Our youngest is already 13, so I can understand them] Don't get me wrong though cause I absolutely love kids. I just don't think now is the right time to have one. I still want to travel the world - whether it be alone, with friends or my future boyfriend. *shrugs* I seriously don't know what's in stall for me with the whole partner department.

Guess I just have to wait and see!
For now I'm looking forward to my new job which I start at on Monday. Talk about great birthday present!

Hey Valerie,
Happy Birthday!!! Don't worry about having kids and getting married. Your 25 for crying out loud. Enjoy being single. Don't listen to nay sayers. Have fun!
