On Marriage


My friends are starting to get married.

Making babies, starting families, getting into serious relationships. And what am I doing? Getting concussions in Vegas? (I admit, the Vegas trip was pretty epic though. I have the bruises to prove it.)

But all this baby-making has got me thinking: am I on track to getting that domestic dream when I'll be ready for it? Quick and dirty timeline:

  • 25-29: Dating the man of my dreams
  • 29: Getting MARRIED
  • 30: Trying to get pregnant
  • 31: Popping out Baby #1
  • 33: Popping out Baby #2
Which means I should be finding him NOW. But wait! What about my other hopes and dreams?

Hope and Dream #1: Dating a surfer
Not sure what it is about them, but they're so chill. Also could be tied to the fact that I am always running along Great Highway and see them in their wetsuits.Yum.

Hope and Dream #2: Dating a black dude
I've never dated a black dude before, so I want to experience this as well.

Oh yeah. And I also have some hopes and dreams about running, career, moving, travelling, finding myself, etc. Small things.

I never thought I would be worried about marriage and finding someone at such a young age (25 years young!), but BAM, here I am. Seriously, it's just something about turning 25 that makes everyone crazy and start to get all serious with their relationships and people start thinking that the time is a'tickin. Damn.

Slow down, biological clock. Wait for meeeeee!
