Ever since I became a wife and a mother, somehow I am looked upon much differently to others of the same age. I am now in the category of "old folks" especially since the birth of my son. Even going out with friends of the same age (or sometimes even younger) is not the same anymore. The worse is being mistaken by someone of the same age thinking that I am way older! *Sigh* Somehow I do yearn those good ol' days when guys way younger than me were hitting on me thinking I was their peer and club bouncers checking my ID thinking I was underaged. I guess soon I would be what my friends and I used to call "overaged aunties clubbing thinking they are still young".
I was wondering just recently how much has changed since my wedding and the birth of my son. I think secretly (or not..) I yearn for the time when I had few responsibilities and I was able to party and do almost anything I liked. I could get pissed drunk knowing the next day I can sleep away my hangover regardless whether I am missing dinner or not. I can fit into my tanks, minis and micros not worrying about having a hanging spare tyre. I can splurge all my salary on clothes, fine dining and lots of booze, not needing to worry about savings... *sigh*
Even though I do have the urge to do the weird, I guess it is about time I grew up. I have to give up my other pleasures to ensure I am a responsible wife and mother. I have to work my butt out just to feed the household. I guess everyone has to come to this point sometimes in their life.. although I do think sometimes whether I was forced to do this instead of choosing to do so. I do gripe at times that I was placed in this position by neccessity, and not by conscious choice. Of course I would try to console myself that I am really glad I have a husband who is somehow understanding and a cute little son, but then I do ask myself if I am going to regret anything later? Maybe not so soon but in the far future when I look back and wonder where have my youth gone?
Somehow it is rather depressing when I think this way. I know there is nothing I achieved in the partying and being a cock-teaser other than self-gratification and selfish pleasures, but as everyone knows it feels good to indulge in one's selfish wants and desires. But I keep telling myself that all that has happened did happen for a reason, and I seriously can admit that if I was not pregnant, I probably would have taken much longer to settle down. =_=;;
I guess everyone will come to the point where they have to grow some senses and start being an adult, instead of a willful child. I know for sure that I am already at my time. I am just still trying to get over the fact that I am not that young anymore. Call me vain or call me stubborn, but I am still trying to come to terms with the fact I am not a side of meat that the wolves would try to prey upon. but rather I am now expired product. HAHAHAHA!
