I thoroughly believe that life is the hardest between your early 20's and mid-30's, because that's when most of your decisions about who you are will be made. This is the time where you're figuring out what you really want to do with your life, you're getting married, having kids, discovering your sexuality, and becoming comfortable with yourself. There are a lot of places to screw things up here, and lets be honest, it going to happen. (Although to be honest, you never really stop screwing up, you just get too old to care).
We all tend to overload ourselves with the things we "have to do before we get too old", and that's where the mistakes start rolling in. We rush into things because we think there's a time frame and we forget to stop and think "is this what I really want", because once that times gone, its gone. *POOF* From the beginning of junior year in high school we are pressured to pick a college, pick a major, pick a life; And honestly what 16 year old is thinking about the future, I mean REALLY thinking, not just two or four years ahead but the years after that. Its hard enough going to college once, but again and again because you keep jumping into it without trying to figure out why it went wrong the first few times. The same goes for relationships too, getting a divorces aren't quick and they're not easy, they cost money and time, not to mention if you have kids, they're a blessing yes(kids of course not divorces...though I guess sometimes they are), but when you have them things in general just get complicated.
It is perfectly fine to take a 1 or 2 year break after high school to get situated (though I wouldn't take too long), and it is also perfectly fine to date someone for 5 or 8 or how ever many years before you get married or decide kids are must (you know what i mean, if you don't you use it you'll lose it, but you just don't have to rush). So lets wrap this up.
Don't let people asking if you're married, or in a relationship(whether you have kids or not), or if you're enrolled in a college, pressure you into thinking you need just get it over with, because what YOU do with YOUR life doesn't affect them, YOU are the one that has to live with your choices.
“Most people don't grow up. Most people age. They find parking spaces, honor their credit cards, get married, have children, and call that maturity. What that is, is aging.”
