My friends from high school that I graduated with make me feel like a teenager...

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

Here I am. 29, single, no kids. And the majority of people I graduated high school with are already married with kids and have their own houses out in the burbs. I don't know if it's because I was a late bloomer and took a long time with college and I still have that "youthful" mindstate...but these people are the same age as me and seem almost middle-aged in my eyes compared to me.

I was hanging out with my good friend from school in Baltimore and just the lives him and his friends lead is such a sharp contrast to mine. Other than working, most of the stuff I do (skateboard, DJ, make music, smoking that cheeba, partying, etc.) is stuff I did when I was 19. I have priorities together don't get me wrong, but I was just never interested in getting married and having kids in my early to mid 20s. They're the type to have a nice dinner at the Cheesecake factory with their spouses and talk about work and work and golf and then go to a lame bar in the city.

As time went on, I realize I have very little in common with them. Maybe that's why other than a couple of them I don't talk to them much cause I don't have anything to talk about with them

Breh live YOUR life...don't do something just because others are doing it and you end up being miserable in such a situation.

Quit complaining and enjoy your freedom, fool.

Yeah, you're right. Life isn't a race. I tend to have moments where I think I should be there when I'm actually here with my life, then I realize that I'm living my life and doing me. Sometimes I feel that there's this underlying pressure in society or unspoken rules that people should be at a certain point at a certain age in terms of success. I already have considered myself successful on my own terms. I'm not a bum. I have a job. I graduated college and got my degree. I'm living in a (relatively) new city with a new life, new friends, new experiences etc...
