I love that that's ok.Six and Ohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08920722944391391765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791125355431273627.post-57262783575960279292010-08-30T11:48:46.499-04:002010-08-30T11:48:46.499-04:00Omg I love the layout of this blog.

We ended up drifting apart, because I wanted my own apartment and to LIVE my 20's! I tried three different career paths before I found my current profession (which I love). Now I'm approaching 30 and just got married last year with a little one on the way. The timing was perfect for me, and I'm SO glad I waited and experimented with apartments, jobs, and my lifestyle before I settled down. I think this new trend is great for young people. No reason to pick a life path at 21 and stick with it for the rest of your life. Life is about changing your mind, making plans, and then changing them!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385413158992948944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791125355431273627.post-53361676285488539532010-08-29T17:19:36.318-04:002010-08-29T17:19:36.318-04:00This was really interesting and just made me reali...This was really interesting and just made me realize just how many people of my age (21) here in UK actually are behaving in the same way. The British are somewhat strongly influenced by American media and I've realized now that a decade of Friends has helped to mould the UK twentysomething lifestyle into how it is emerging at the moment. We all mature at different paces and make mistakes (in England this is particularly due to the glamorization of taking the easiest routes possible to become an instant success or overnight celebrity - most people doing this aspire to become glamour models or soccer players) which take time to clean up so we should accept this and try not to judge others so much.Gemma Zhauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18147742984776832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791125355431273627.post-19330433157323119522010-08-27T12:45:10.100-04:002010-08-27T12:45:10.100-04:00Interesting!

In a way I feel behind (no kids, no established career yet, etc.). But, in other ways, I feel ahead (education, relationship, etc.)<br />Great post!Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094360346081002840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791125355431273627.post-90888899006089905702010-08-27T12:09:05.263-04:002010-08-27T12:09:05.263-04:00That does seem to be the trend now.

It's not like the 20-somethings that are still in grad school or exploring various jobs are any less "adult." <br /><br />I understand that societal pressures can be stifling, but really, it doesn't matter where other people think you should be at your point in life, it matters how you feel you are progressing in life. If you're feeling stunted, try something new, but if you're comfortable, keep on keepin' on!Angelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098744323184143823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791125355431273627.post-52784292165011702192010-08-27T10:53:08.856-04:002010-08-27T10:53:08.856-04:00Exactly!
