Just cause somebody graduated at 22 does not mean that graduating at 23 makes me any more stupid or slow for that matter.
Just cause somebody joined the airlines at 22 does not mean that joining at 23 makes me take lesser pride in my work or getting fewer compliments for that matter.
Just cause somebody dated their first and last boyfriend at 22 does not mean that dating nonstop after 23 makes me any less worthy of finding The One or finding the best one for that matter.
Just cause somebody got married at 22 does not mean that not getting married at 27 makes me ineligible or that I am bound to be left on the shelves for that matter.
Just cause somebody gave birth at 22 does not mean that not giving birth at 27 makes me think that my womb might "expire" or that I will lose finding joy in other forms for that matter.
I guess what I am trying to say is, just cause somebody seems to have their life planned out does not mean that mine is not, or rather based on what Pearlyn told me: If this was a competition, we would already have lost but it is better to live life at your own pace, get married later than to rush and marry a wrong one and to be stuck with him forever or headed for divorce afterwards for that matter.
At 27, I answer to no one but myself. I am not a lost child nor do I seek assurance. I do what is best for me and my life might just turn out to be better than yours.
