My sister is 32 years old today. No big deal, right? She seems good with it. Me? OMG. I remember being at her 14th birthday party with my bestie and my sister told her two cutest guy friends to dance with us. We were 7 and 8. My mom still has the pictures. My bestie had a shit eating grin on her face....I was grinning, with my eyes squinted closed. But on that night, I remember thinking that she was so grown up. Looking back, I thought she was SO sophisticated. On my 14th birthday, I had the same thought...back to my sister's 14th. And I thought "Shit, I don't feel nearly as sophisticated as I expected". Guess what? I still don't. Here I am at 25, and I have my moments where I still feel like a teenager. It's crazy.
So here it is...do you feel, at the age that you are, that you would have felt more sophisticated and "together" by now? Let's hear it!
Lord yes. At 31 I was supposed to have it all. A house full of kids and a yard the size of texas. Instead, I am an almost divorced, single mama that can barely feed her kids. Yay life, right? You just have to make with what happens though. I'm not who I thought I was yet, but that doesn't mean I won't be someday. Same with you. You may not have been as sophisticated as your sister at fourteen but you are now.
ReplyDeleteI still don't feel any kind of sophisticated! LOL
