my friend yana had a baby girl the other day. Yet another one of my friends to have a baby. so weird. i still am definitely at the point where i feel too young for my friends to be having kids. aren’t we still kind of kids ourselves? sheez. i guess not. not even close. we’re all adults now.. and everyone has to do adult things. work a career job, get married, pay for car insurance, what have you. i feel so unprepared for this and i’m not sure why. i mean, it’s not like growing up is something that happens all of a sudden over night. it’s not something dramatic that can catch you by surprise. no, it’s gradual… and slow. you have plenty of time to prepare for it, to ponder what’s going to happen, to get in the right mindset…. and yet, somehow it always still ends up being shocking. one day you look around you at what all of your friends are doing, and even at what you’re doing… and it just baffles you how everyone got to that point. someone must have hit the fastforward button on the video tape of your life, cause you shouldnt have gotten to this part yet. right??
