My post could triggers fears about being single so don't read if you are feeling sensitive in this way....
I was in Rite Aid today and I quickly checked out a front page article on Jennifer Aniston.

Hugs to everyone out there who feels like Jennifer Aniston or has a lot of Bridget Jones moments (ya know, drinking wine all by youcself, singing with tears to love songs) ...
That age, hmm. I will turn 30 this year. Sometimes I catch myself thinking like when I wanna have kids and marry I need to find the guy for that at x age, when I don't continue a relationship with guy x I run out of time for having a family, when I settle down for less than I want I might end up getting a divorce before having kids and might be too old to even start a family...eeek. 3 years I ago I was relaxed and couldn't even imagine being a mother, now I am like would I be able to deal with not finding the guy I wanna marry until it's too late for getting pregnant??? ...I ask myself these questions knowing friends who missed the chance..or never got one. One just turned 40 and always wanted to have kids, one beauty is 34 and can't even find a casual bf lest alone someone who would not be committment phobic.
And one with 32 will never have kids because her guy already has 4 from a previous marriage and doesn't want anymore.
Someone in a bulletin online once called this the "age game"....
we all wonder "WHAT IF" what if we had stayed instead of left, what if we had done something different so he didnt leave, what if we had talked to that guy etc...and yes even for jennifer aniston who has money and fame and famous friends she is still a normal person inside and she has feelings. but these articles are coming from gossip magazines, brad and jennifer have been broken up for quite a while now, she has been seen out with a few different guys and we all assume they are dating of course. but who says all these things that these magazines say are actually the things jennifer is feeling!? are any of them actual interviews with her? or is it that they seen her out by herself or in fact havent seen her out in a while, so they assume its over brad? maybe she is trying to avoid the paparazzi! we can not compare our lives to these celebrities who live completely different lives than us, we dont even know if there is truth to how they are "feeling". we need to do what makes US happy, whether it be staying in or going out. we all deserve our time to heal after a break up regardless of how long ago it happen, but its our life and our relationship, other people may have similar issues but we have to live for ourselves. and we have to believe in our selves, no more wasting time wondering if we made a mistake. at the time it was what we wanted! and there is nothing wrong with that!! we should live with no regrets and live every day to its fullest. if it didnt work out its probably because it wasnt meant to...if we are always looking behind us we cant be looking forward!
First of all, there is rarely an ounce of truth to ANY gossip mag.
Okay, I didn't read all the posts but I'm gonna give you the .02 from a married gal's perspective.
I was dead-end dating a guy just so I'd have a guy, not really happy. I'm so glad the age hit as hard as it did! It made me re-examine my life. I dumped the guy, took a traveling job, broke my lease, donated most of my stuff, packed up my dog & moved west!
30 and single - one of the best years of my life! Well, actually, every year of my 30s was pretty good, and 40 isn't so bad either, at least not so far...
So for those of you approaching an age with trepidation -whatever the age is - what are you going to do about it? Totally up to you - go for it!
