In the last two years, has become a trend that I am invited to weddings, children's parties and baby showers of friends, family, colleagues or acquaintances. And I only say "Shit, So-So young and already in that? I think not. However, I go to the store and buy the gift for: A dinner, a tiny dress size 0, or a tickle Elmo, I get the proper paint to use for playing time, and I go with a nervous smile. Now, I remember that recently someone put in their Facebook profiles the phrase " When your classmates are beginning to put photos in profile of children, is because you're getting old " and I go back and say - is it true ? -I yes, I think. - Shit! I'm getting old and I had not noticed. But why, if you have what I feel younger?
And not that it is a libertine of those who believe to be in the prime 25-15. No, in fact, I can say that I am a professional, poor, unemployed but emptied and professional. My income does not reach very poor to pay rent, water, electricity and telephone, much less to buy diapers every week, pay daycare, or even worse, a private school tuition. My sleepless nights are, say, volunteers are times when I spend time browsing the web, reading a fun book or trying to write a few lines, in the end always result in the recycle bin. But do not think in those moments, I liked a lot to spend a sleepless night under those reasons I do know that when you least expect it, a boy burst into tears asking to eat, diaper change or just because. No sir.
I also believe that the world is very large. They are evil count, 198 countries of which I know not even 10%, and which I have the desire to someday visit your pocket permits me, I want to fill at least ten pages of my passport before expires. If I had a son, or I get married, or something similar, could not spend that money on travel, and will have to spend in these activities. If I get to give that big step, consider it a priority to have traveled nearly enough, and then invest in this important economic sector "adult."
My lifestyle does not fit or as decadent or as wise, my failed career, (which still gives me around in my head the idea that I did a very bad choice: I do not like the race , or gives me money) my very poor income not even enough to keep me to myself, and feel that I am still young enough, I would take that step in the near future. It is the insistence that I still feel a bit young for that.
Now I wonder if it's that my friends, family, colleagues or acquaintances thought of all these things. It seems like it was yesterday, when girls from school invited me, by decency, their celebrations of 15, the babies were our mothers or sisters, marriages were uncles or neighbors and for all this, though one attended by forehand, never cared for the gift. I do not think the pregnancy of Jane Doe, who studied with me these days has been seen with surprise, as most likely to happen 10 years ago when he was in adolescence, and not because the times change, though in fact change, but for now, the rules are different. We're playing it because we're old. I'm worried about I can not escape it and I'll have to settle down soon, but at the same time reassuring me that the way to go, when you 50 I feel 30, and that could be very good.
because I also enormous curiosity to know what my mother would think of all this, when he was my age.

Is that true, if we're getting old?
