You're gonna be gone before you get found in another boring afternoon, originally uploaded by speckled_beckle.
"I can count the years
Everybody now is just counting tears
And plastic bills and their protective pills
And I just took my time"
...is personal.
I feel like I've missed out on so much in my life. I'm 26 with no college degree, no progeny, and no ring on my finger. It feels like I have done nothing to contribute to the world or to my life.
Yes, I know, this sounds like whining.
...but I can't help the way I feel.
I do, however, realize that I have a good fifty years (or so) left to live, so I'm not worried about rectifying those situations. =)
...in fact, I am only 16 weeks away from getting my Associate of Arts degree.
...and then, onto a Bachelor's from there. (I've been --thankfully-- getting some insights into what to major in, too.)
The marriage and kids thing can wait.
One thing at a time.
One day at a time.
That's how things get done. =)
