Uh-oh

My year of being 26 years old is coming to end very soon...man, 27 is just around the corner, I can't believe it. It just so does not feel like it. That may be linked to the fact that I perceive everything in the new millennium, or rather, in this decade, as very recent. But Carissa, 2000 is EIGHT years ago! You graduated from High School almost EIGHT f***ing YEARS AGO! You entered your first real relationship NINE YEARS AGO. You began to study more than SIX YEARS AGO. You joined AIESEC more than FIVE YEARS AGO. Your sister, who is SEVEN years younger, just turned TWENTY. You've been working 100% for eight months. You've been 100% self sufficient for five months. You singing on stage was NINE YEARS ago, you dancing and acting on stage was an ETERNITY ago. Your blog is almost THREE YEARS old. You've been to Mexico almost FOUR YEARS ago. Your elementary school sweetheart is engaged, and your ex-boyfriend is married since three or four years and is a daddy since almost six months. You've been in this beautiful relationship for FOUR YEARS (ly, Schatz). You stopped figure skating ELEVEN YEARS AGO, and began TWENTY-ONE years ago. Carissa, you're just getting older...and it's okay. Totally okay. There, you feeling better? Well, kind of. I'm an intern for the next six months, for Pete's sake...and still don't have my driver's licence. LOL. Maybe that makes me feel younger too. Plus, my boyfriend is a year younger than me, that keeps me "fresh" as well :-) Carissa, everybody's "timing" is different. Timing for graduating, studying, for having relationships, your first real heart-break, internships, first real jobs (I signed my first permanent contract EIGHT YEARS ago, but it only lasted eleven months), settling down, having kids, driving a car etc. You just have to do it your way, do your thing. And you ARE, because everything feels right at the moment....okay?


There, now I have managed to freak out my few readers with self-talk. LOL.

P.S. When will my timing be right for becoming my own boss?
