First off, I hope that all of you had a magnificent holiday -- I know mine was nice ...

OK, so, can the world and its happenings SLOW the fuck down for just one second? Let me catch my breath? Everyone is getting hitched, like everybody -- either that or they're having children. I come home not 7 days ago and my cousin Wendy's engaged, my 19 year old cousin Carlo has impregnated his girlfriend, my niece is bigger than ever, my entire family is talking about who's next, to get married, to have kids, and it's fuckin NUTS. People are making moves with their lives so quickly, that I can hardly keep track of what's going on. And me, the college student, who's whole M.O. is as routine as everyone else's, can't help but feel like I'm a) moving too slowly or b) not thinking enough about the future ... but I shouldn't be worrying about these things yet, should I?

For now, all I care about are my Lord, the people in my life and the things that make me happy. I am completely content with letting the progressions of life (i.e., marriage and children and homeowning and career choice) unfold for me; I'm still too unsure of what I want to be able to go out and get these things myself. Making things happen isn't always the best approach.
