I'm 27 and yes, after 25 life is certainly not the same. At 25 and before you're still a bit in a safe-ish bubble of college friends, your bf, it's sort of okay to not exactly know where you're headed just yet, and your parents still love you unconditionally and don't exactly expect you to take on too much responsibility on the family side and yours yet. After 25, its like reality smacks you in the face...hard. Everyone seems to want something from you, you have to have a direction or some sort of a career and relationships start taking a toll on your mindset. Oh and don't forget how you start to see little kids differently (if you've never had any by that time), all of a sudden they're super cute and you begin to feel like your missing out on something. Oh, and how you feel weird when you pass kids (17-23) that used to be your age - like, whoa! How did you take my place! All of a sudden you start noticing people who are younger than you, like you start to acknowledge that you're older than everyone and then the big question starts to lurk around in your head - Are you still attractive or did your most attractive years already pass you by. Oh and the lost feeling. That over 25 lost feeling is the worst sometimes.
Is life over when you turn 25?
