Today while driving home, a surreal thought pops into my head, what if I am not 27? I mean I know I am but you know, the thought that my insurance is cheaper, I can legally drink in all countries, I am an aunt. So weird being an aunt, I've always been the one ... well who had aunts. An odd tiny thought, but I couldn't shake it as the day went on, the fact I have been out of high school for 10 years coming up, that I have a career I can see direction to now. It feels almost eerie but I can see what I want to be when I grow up, at least for awhile anyhow.
Odd the thoughts that pop into your head while driving home on the back roads. That fresh air, beautiful scenery (the canola is blooming a very bright and gorgeous prairie yellow and the cows are out in droves munching their cuds full of grassy goodness!) - Lil One
Hey L'il One!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! I don't know about you, but I expected to "know and feel" 27... all of a sudden I should just feel different or something. Which makes my appreciation for my parents that much stronger. They were much younger and considering the job they did, wow. I don't even know if I'd have kids because I don't feel ready for that kind of responsibility.
My hope as the big 3-0 creeps up I will really relish in the moments instead of trying to slow down time or whatever it is I'm doing right now.
Well, I'm less than six months away from 30. It does make you think all sorts of things. I didn't know what to expect at thirty but I'm certain I wasn't expecting this... both good and bad!
ReplyDeleteNice imagery in your post SR.
