Internet, google "veterinarians in my area." They're pretty nice people, I find. Of course, it's Saturday, so they might be closing early. And you should have a vet for your dog. It's not fair to wait until something bad happens to get them medical care.

I've definitely seen this happen a lot in my day to day.

Well, I am officially 22. Ate at Outback with my parents. Treated myself to a chocolate thunder from down under. Starting to regret that decision because now my stomach hurts. Good food though.

I'm scared to turn 22. I'm scared to grow older and that's only 5 months away.

But at a certain point it becomes "Meh." And you can always make a game of it. I turned thulium back in June. Xmara is titanium now and Rojava is transitioning from scandium soon. You do what you can because you can't stop the march of time. :)

I don't feel so young anymore. I know to some folks here I'm still a lil baby but I don't feel as young as my friend Tyler who is 18.

That’s only a four year difference though, less then that probably depending on their birthdate.

Get some friends in their 30s and coworkers in their 50s.

I got some. I know I'm young, but I don't feel as young.

Like at 18 you're fresh outta highschool and you just entering adulthood. By 22 you definitely an adult.

It's hard to explain. I just feel like not so young, and it bothers me I don't feel as youthful as I once was.

Really? Because I still feel really young. That’s why it baffles me so much that there are people my age who are getting married and having kids. One of my friends who is the same age as me got married today. Last week I found out an elementary school classmate of mine just had a baby, and another one is also getting married this summer.

Perhaps I should've explained that trainwreck of info better...are you sitting comfortably?

I almost got married at 20. I'm glad I didn't or I would be even more miserable.

20 is way too young imo. Even 22 feels too young to get married. I want to wait until I’m at least 25.

I'm honestly concerned for my friend Violette. She recently went through a bad breakup with her boyfriend of five years, she hasn't responded to my texts at all today, she didn't post on snapchat despite being on there all the time even when at work and she didn't show up at work today. This comes after she said she didn't wanna go on with her life.

Should I start to worry? Cause I think I'm past the starting line.

My granpa asked me a few weeks back when I’m going to find a nice man and have a kid. I reminded him that I’m gay. He said back, “Oh yeah. Sorry. When will you find a nice woman and have a kid?”
