Been going through my old posts and I've just come to realize that my most commented post by far is the one on being uncoupled and childless at 33. I remember writing that after having dinner with friends, and it dawned on me that I am no longer as young as I thought I was.
Now, four years later and I am beginning to feel terrified of getting much older than I am now. And, yes, I am still beleaguered by questions of why I am still unmarried and childless; and answering these questions is beginning to be such a bore. Frankly, I couldn't care less what people think and say about this matter.
Right now, I am more preoccupied with thoughts of being a middle-aged woman. Heavens, even my hands look really old now as I tap at the keyboard. When coloring one's hair is no longer a fashion statement but a necessity (to cover up greying hair), one can't help but be scared. I am scared. I am terrified. I don't want to be old! There are still a lot of things that I haven't done in my list-of-things-to-do-before-I-turn-40 and I am running out of time.
