When did we get to the age where is you don't feel well, people ask if you are pregnant?

Sometimes I feel sorry for us women.

I have this friend Mookie - I respect her so much for knowing what she wants in life and finding the best people in the world to support her. She is unconventional and beautiful and doesn't get sucked into what the world thinks we should be doing at this time in a 25 year old's life. She is fabulous and she knows it.

And what is best about all these friends is that I have others that walk on the other side of the of the fence. You know the type...the ones that measure selfworth by their relationships. The kind of person who is overwhelmed with drama. I almost feel sorry for them because they don't even know who they are. I was just speaking to one of my friends...we'll call her JT for purposes here...and she thinks she is going to die an old maid with 95 cats because no one has asked her to marry as of yet. GIVE ME A BREAK! We as women must know ourselves before we can be happy in a relationship. I wish JT could learn more from Mookie (maybe they would need to meet then) so that she can realize that people come into our lives and we appriciate their compan. We may like them...A LOT...but don't have to rush into marriage or babies to be women. We should be proud to know who WE are and find the blessings in all the beautiful people who make us happy.

By the way, JT doesn't read this. I don't know how to tell her to just be her and that one day her prince will come. If you think that was good, let me know...please help out with some ideas. And Mookie...maybe you would want to tell her how it is...we are WOMEN...beautiful, fabulous, strong women who know ourselves...and that is what truly gives us selfworth and dignity!

And as for this title to my post...it is so aggrivating to be this age. I am a woman who is married and will have babies when my husband and I are ready. Stop asking. I am 25 and sometime I just don't feel well. Like I am sick with the flu or am getting a cold. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT I AM PREGNANT WITH MORNING SICKNESS. It means I don't feel well and I am sick.

Urgh!
