I just did myself in december 27 and I have to say for some reason I felt soo depressed on that day than any of my previous bdays. I felt like I had not done anything important in my life. I am a regular 28yrs woman with 9-5 job, no boyfriend. I think I had it in my mind that I would be married by this age and with kids and maybe with a bigger job but I guess not. I guess it's just life -the grind of life! Maybe I have to lighten up, if only people would stop asking me if I am married or have a boyfriend, right? Happy b/days for all that turned 28yrs.

My girlfriend of 7 months dumped me 6 days ago--she did it 1 day before I was due to fly 5,000 miles to visit her. I wouldn't feel as old if she hadn't left me. I thought, what a great holiday season this will be; I'll be able to visit my girlfriend, whom I hadn't seen in 4 months, and I'll celebrate my birthday, christmas, and new years with her. Then, life came all of a sudden. Also, everyone here needs to shut up about their age, we are too age focused in many parts of the world. Think about how many young people die, while old people continue to live. Age is certainly not the only determinant to a lifespan. So, obsessing about your age even for a fraction of a second is stupid;if only because you might die in a car crash tommorow, in which case 28 was very "old" indeed.
