Day one of being 25*
Yes, i am officially 25 years of age. I can’t believe that it was on this day that i came out of my mother’s womb. I wonder how weird i looked when she looked at me as she held me in her arms.You know how babies can have tiny faces, no hair, tiny nose, small feet and big ears!
January 7 will forever be the day that ushers me into every new year. While the rest of you celebrate the new year on January 1, i never get to feel am there till its 7th.
I have always wanted to be 25 and used to wonder how i am going to feel when i actually become 25. At the moment, i feel no different. I just feel that i am left with only 5 years to make 30! OMG!
Should i panic? stay calm? scream? laugh? or pretend like many women that i am 20 or 21? Maybe i should just be glad i made it to 25 after all.
At what age do women start panicking? When they realise that they aint getting any younger? If you look at a guy my age you would think he just turned 20 or something and when you meet him when you are both 30, the dude still hasn’t changed!
I guess i should do as other women do and star panicking. Oh God, am not married at 25? No car? no Kid(s)? But that’s not me, so i guess i will stay calm and enjoy being 25.
After spending 25 irreplaceable years on earth, i feel i should be grateful that i am still living. By the nature of my name, i guess God has been more than good to me throughout these years. I guess the Grace of God is really working for me as Grace!
So, now i ask myself, what next now that i am 25. Do i start think about doing more books or should i be getting a much bigger and better job? Maybe i could start thinking about marriage? But it does not fit the picture yet. I love the picture with me in it, alone, holding books or just walking out of office getting into my car and then i go home and enjoy a bath and turn on the TV without someone telling me to pass the popcorn as we watch the movie.
Maybe am putting too much thought into being 25. I am going to relax, take a deep breath and just be me. Not 25 but just me. Wish me luck!
Galfrend,
i feel you, especially on what kind of emotion one should be in, at 25!
