Vingt-huit

Not that I have much experience with it... Three days, to be exact.

Twenty-eight seems to be a weightier age than 27. It's so much more "late" twenties.... In other words, just one more year towards the ticking timebomb of 30.

Twenty-eight is so unabashadly adult. It's a job, a house, a marriage.... its the possibility of a family, of future. It's such a "mom" age. Sigh...

In the same unbelievable breath, so much and nothing has changed for me.

I think back to 22, 24... After college, hating my job, being single, hoping for the impossible-- scheming daily of how to skip the country and find my perfect life overseas...

Twenty eight is a more settled place and not always in that kitchy compromised way. Believe me... there are still dreams out there... some of which I am sure will never come true.

But at the same time, I am sure that some things will happen in the next year that I haven't ever dreamt would happen....

So it is...

  1. ah. I see you've found yourself listening to Damien Rice. It's about time. I had an obsession with him for a long time, and he started my love for Irish folk rock. It's amazing :)
