I love my little house and my job and my life as is... but the problem is it is focused in the East Valley of Phoenix. I drive about 40 miles to hang out with my friends. Stupid me for buying a house way out here. But I love my house... I just wish I could move my friends.
However, then again I look at my friends. I went out on Thursday last week, and it was a lot of fun. We went to play laser tag and had dinner. It was fun. But... I look around and everyone I hang out with is married/engaged and they all have kids already. I don't need those two things thrown up in my face every time I go out.
What makes it even worse, is when I do go out and hang out with these people... I am treated as if I am a wife to the person I am going out with. That couldn't be farther from the truth. I stay out of his business, we essentially have separate lives that intersect once or twice a week. I don't have any impact on his decisions and he doesn't have any on mine.
I think it is bogus that 30 is the new 20. I am still among an entire set of people who are already married with many kids and they are just in their early 30s. If 30 is the new 20 where are all of the almost 30s like me?
I know it is my fault. I need to get out more... maybe it is time that I make my way out to one of those "young alum" mixers.... but as I near 30, am I too old for those?
*Sigh* I gotta do something to bring my life to the west side.. or buy a house out east too.
