It's my birthday soon. I don't know about you guys, but I have trouble with birthdays. I can't seem to associate the age my birthdate tells me I am, with how I feel inside my head.
I was writing a short story, the subject matter of which helped me to realise some of the reason why that is. And I know my character helps with some of it too - I'm usually a glass half full kind of girl.
But I struggle with the rest.
I feel that I have accomplished little.
That I have yet to fully grow up.
That I have no clear idea of what lies ahead, which by now, let's face it, should be well defined.
I think back and can't understand where the years have gone to. In fact, I am in shock when I count how many years I have been away from home.
Can it really be that I have drifted for so long?
Does anyone else feel so displaced?
Does it matter, even? Maybe it is good to feel forever young.
Hi Prue
ReplyDeleteI often look in the mirror and get a shock because I'm expecting someone much younger! I just think that you have to accept the good points in each stage of your life. Ie now the boys are a bit older I have a bit more me time. And as for the should you know where you're going by now, I don't think anyone does. Who said "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans"? I think you just have to go with the flow and try to make the most of every day. Easier said than done though!
