Personal Legend

The Age of Marriages and Babies

This year has been fruitful. I have gain more happy friends who have got their relationships formalized with their beloved ones.

Many of my friends have got into next level of the game. White dresses, bubbles of champagne, flowers, wedding cake, loans for property, furnitures, baby clothes and toys. I have seen all this happening to my elder sisters, but now it's here among my friends. A life is on another level.

It's funny how those news are coming up [yes this is continues process]. Another day was speaking with my Mum on the phone and there she was saying that my classmate got married after being in the relationship for 8 years. 8 YEARS! For quite a while I said, it's impossible that they have been together for 8 years, but yes, that's true, it's been 8 years, I still remember them being so young on their very fresh relationship, and right now after those 8 years they have got married. I am happy for them! Continuing the same conversation, I got a reminder that another classmate that we used to sit at the same desk in school for over 10 years is about to have a baby, the last month is counting, the same is with my few years older childhood friend whom we used to spend all our days together playing, running in the fields and pretending being princesses. And on top of that another childhood friend from the same group is expecting a Greek child [this was new to me as well]. There I was sitting and snapshots were running though my eyes of kids running around the next time I will be back at home with all my suitcases and souvenirs from never ending travelling. Now every time you travel get some souvenirs and gifts for kids, it will always be handy!

Almighty Facebook flushes with the news at least once a week or month that some of my friends got engaged, getting married or you just randomly discover that they already have uploaded their kids pictures. This especially happens with classmates and university friends whom I haven't been in touch for a while and now we re-connect on Facebook. Almight Facebook it's like huge never ending gossip box!

I am happy for each and single of them. Either the wedding is in Jordan or Sri Lanka, or the baby is Greek or African. I am happy for all of you, my friends. So the time came for you, sooner or latter. I was just thinking that if I were to go for all the weddings and send presents for all the babies by now I would be broke! And there are many more to come!

Everything is so far away. Not mentioning that it's 10.000 km away, it's so far away from my life. I do not feel that I am ready for the next level (the advanced level with the bonus babies) of the game. Till I get into another lever, I am enjoying my game.

*We all have our time ( I suppose & hope).
