Settling Down....Is it wrong?

Wow, I never thought I'd be writing this.........

I'm 30. To some that's really freaking old, to others, I'm a spring chicken. Either way, it means that I should be a grown up, right? I feel like I've done everything that I've wanted to do (and some I haven't, lol). So........now what?

I'm not into the club scene anymore, I don't like to drink (much 😀) anymore, my close friends are leaving me and moving on, and I am here alone. So, what's a girl to do?

Is it that time? Are the normal things that I did when I was young changing because I'm *gulp* ready to settle down? Don't get me wrong, I've always seen myself as the "settling down" type. I guess it just snuck up on me, lol.

Or..............

Maybe finally finding someone worthwhile to actually turn my thoughts that way has something to do with it.

On the other hand, some people never feel this way. I know 50 year olds who have never really felt the need to slow it down a little. Am I feeling this way because I'm a woman? And if that's the case, is it wrong? When people hear me say that I'm ready to settle down, they roll their eyes, and categorize me with a woman whose biological clock is ticking (almost wrote tickling, heh), which is not always necessarily the case. I almost feel guilty typing this out because some people might see it as a "desparate cry for attention".

I just wonder why it's so wrong for a woman to want someone to complete her, without everyone thinking she is desparate and lonely?
