How can people who are about the same age and background be moving in so many directions. I see my single friends out moving about the country taking odd jobs that will get them through until they decide to move again. Very few people who are in their 30s and married are childless and those who are married with children shift their lifestyle totally to their children (which I most likey do would do as well). Who is better off? Would it be realistic or satifying to move around so much and not have the stability of a home to escape back to? (not for me.) Would it be fair to yourslef to live for (and sometimes through) your children? What do you do when they grow up?
I know of two couples who are currently disolving their relationships, on after 15 year and one after 39. How does that happen? This is all very strange to me and I am sure it is to everyone until you are in that situation. I think the thing that confuses me the most is how some people have no sense of responsibility. Maybe that tells the most about me though. I guess we all do whatever it takes to keep us sane.

I was talking to a friend about this very old post and some of the discussions it raised, and as I read it again I can't help but to feel that maybe I did not convey myself clearly enough.
I was getting back in touch with people from high school and college, and was amazed to see the different types of life they were living. I even found myself envious of several of their seemingly carefree lives.
This post was more of an inner dicussion with myself, than a comment on anyone else's life. Anyone who knows me knows that I have very strong opinions and will express them when asked, but they also know that I love my friends and family. I have never turned my back on a friend, even though some of them have probably wished I would.
To my friends, I love you, all of you have helped make me who I am today ... good or bad :)
