Turning 31
Another day, another year older. Ah well…
I must admit, I am getting a pyschological shock, if slight, of now being 31. No more twenty-something. No more 30, which is a nice round number. But 31.
More than that, crossing this rubicon seems to me to imply a maturity of some sort which I very much doubt I have attained. I mean… shouldn’t I be married? Shouldn’t I already have a couple of kids in tow? What about loans and mortgages?
Instead, I’m still floating in an early-mid-life crisis - my career’s going nowhere fast. I don’t quite know what I want in my life, let alone what to do with myself. I can’t quite see where I will be/should be/want to be in 5 years time. All I am doing is living day-to-day. Being contented. And just existing.
Should that be enough?
