[quote=Anonymous]About age 27 to 33. Old enough to have a good foothold on my career, a little money to spend, and independence in every way. Dated some wonderful people over that stretch, traveled, saw lots of live music, had quality time with friends — and didn’t feel the weight of responsibility that you do when you’re married with children. But by my mid-30s some of the air started coming out of the balloon as it occurred to me that by not making choices — about a long-term partner, having kids, settling down — I would soon be limiting, or even eliminating, the possibilities of those choices. The carefree single days couldn’t go on forever, unless I wanted to try to freeze them in time while my friends and peers paired up and settled down. So I did, too. Having a spouse and family brings many rewards, but I’ll always look back fondly on that earlier time.[/quote]
