Welcome to Gaia! ::

I just fully realized... I turn 25 in July. crying

25 is when people start losing memories. A sign that you are no longer young. crying crying crying

My precious memories... crying crying crying crying crying crying crying crying crying

My precious youth... crying crying crying crying crying crying crying crying crying crying crying crying crying crying crying

I need to get married before I turn 30! scream

I have 5 years and 4 months to find a compatible Asian woman 5 to 11 years older than me with 2 daughters between the ages of 2 and 5! gonk

" If I did notice birthdays, I wouldn't celebrate "

they say that's the kind of attitude that keeps you young smile just dont worry about how old you are! thinking about how you're supposed to be at what age is what gives you stress and makes you "age" -- think instead about what you want and set goals for yourself as if you're not going to die at a certain age (in other words, never stop setting goals and always do the things you want to do)

Does it really matter that much when you get married? It'd be a bad idea to try and shack up with the first girl interested just because you feel you're running out of time. I know a couple guys that have been in so many marriages it looks more like they're collecting ex-wives than trying to find one special person.

Nothing wrong with having standards and knowing what you like, but being so specific about it almost guarantees you get a fail stamp on your forehead. I have the type of girl I'd go for in my mind, but if I only went for that straight out I'd still be a lonely virgin and even though those relationships didn't really work out the silver lining is that because of those relationships I've become more mature and a better partner for when I finally find someone who will stick with me so it's all good.

My feelings on celebrating though? I don't really care about birthdays or holidays myself, but I do view them as a reason to celebrate the fact that here at this moment I'm alive and life is good. Life is fleeting and all to short. Death is the ultimate truth every person alike shares. I could be just going about my business walking my dog or whatever and one day a car jumps the curb and takes me out. I'd go without having a say in it or being able to change it. For whatever reason I might not live to 30, but I don't care about that because I'm living my life fully right now with no regrets. Sure I have goals and things that I want to accomplish, but when my number is up all I'll say is it was a blast, peace out bitches lol

I've been losing my memory since I was 16 or younger. My short-term memory sucks, and people keep asking me about stuff I can't recall.

You'll be ok. 3nodding
How old are you now?

Yup. I might remember faces, but that's it. No experiences, no names, just maybe a familiar facial feature.

So when guys just try to hook up with me asking if they know me from middle school, I dunno if it's true or not.

I totally thought the original post was older than a year. I'm 22.
