Ovums
*coming to you from: Celestive - Eve - Vivian - Fayth - Shen*
So, I ran into a girl I was friends with, but had sort of lost touch with over a year ago... and she was about seven months pregnant... after a few minutes of chatting, I discovered nearly every girl I was friends with in middle school is currently 6+ months pregnant. FOUR different pregnancies...and for most of them, it's the second baby. I'm not sure that any of them are married, or that they even have "active" fathers in the soon-to-be-born's life, but still. Then there's me: unemployed, still single, incredibly reclusive, and not even in school...and now I'm bummed because I don't have a baby. :( I mean I can't have a baby seeing as I'm unemployed and single AND live with my mom & brother... I don't know... I just suddenly feel extremely "un-grown up" and behind in the adulthood thing.
Maybe I'm just a super-slow starter and in 5 years I will have some sort of fabulous life, as some sort of successful career type, or weird housemom or something. I mean probably not. I don't even know which I'd prefer.
Well whatever. I'm just having some sort of "where am I going, why is everyone having babies and not me" sort of day here. I'll get over it.
