Unsettled

A majority of my friends are married.

A few of them have kids.

And most of them are done with school.  

In looking at my life, I did things a bit backwards.

Life in reverse.

But not in the way that most people use that phrase.

I did not have kids before marriage or anything.

But I did have a high paying job first, then I got married, then I quit my job, then went back to school full-time, and eventually will have a low/lower paying job.  

The other day one of my friends was talking about how she was glad to be in the post college days.

And I just smiled to myself.

I am back in my college days.

I am back to being single and in my college days.

I am unsettled.

Most things in my life are unknown right now as far as the future goes.

As far as my plans go.

I do not know where I will be working in five years.

I do not know if/who I will be dating in five years.

Five years from now is very much up in the air.

I almost feel like the 23/24 year old girl I was when I lived in New York.

I find myself wearing short shorts again and cute skirts.

I feel myself not liking my business casual clothes.

I want to go out.

I want to stay up late.

I am drinking more.

It almost feels like I have time traveled to a different place.

To a different me.

It is almost as if all the work I did to be a settled person was in vain.

All the time, Roger put into making me less commitment phobic is gone.

All of his patience, a waste.

But probably not, because I do still want to be settled again someday.

I do want to be a wife again someday.

But in the mean time, I feel miles away from that girl I knew a year ago.

She is back in the car.

She is upstairs in the jar.  

She is in hibernation.
