Do you feel like you are stuck at a certain point that is way behind others? That your neighbors or old school friends have moved on with their lives in terms of settling down with career, family and that somehow you feel that there are milestones that have been long overdue for years?
I was going down the hall at work, bouncing along with my usual joie de vivre and it occurred to me that I was nearing 60 and I was
still wondering when I was going to 'grow up'. About two weeks later I heard about AS and started researching it and a year or so later now I am going for a DX so I can maintain my job in the same company in another facility.
In my life, I have been with single and newly married people and we would all be friends and then they would start their families and I moved on, and then I was older than the young single and newly married folks and then when the babies started coming I moved on. Then I was very old and still hanging with the singles and young marrieds and when the children came I was Auntie and then Granny. The 'milestones' never happened to me, either.
So, maybe it is part of who we are?
