Friday night I had a bit of a crisis.
I'm actually pretty lucky I know the people I do.
I did a beautiful swan dive into depression and was almost ready to call it quits.
I didn't drink that night but it's still a little blurry all the same.
I wish it had been a dream so I didn't have to believe my feelings.
Most people who know me, probably haven't seen this side of me.
After the day I'd had, I was glad to escape, but it felt like I lived more lives than I am entitled to in that one night.
And for the first time I felt the purity of my love for everyone I know.
I trust people I shouldn't yet can't confide in the people I should trust the most, I would rather help others than myself and find peace in the misery I create for myself.
Is that normal?
I felt so at peace last night doing something I know I shouldn't have, but it felt so right. Like the rest of my life never existed except this moment...
Everyone I know is moving on in their lives. Everyone I knew has moved on. Am I moving forward at such a slow pace that I cannot feel it, or have I stalled and not realised it?

Everyone moves, it's YOUR life that counts, not theirs. If you feel the need to do something more, then do it or wait.
Just because someone has a picture of life with a white picket fence, two point one kids and a dog in the yard, doesn't mean everyone thinks that way or has the "perfect" life.
How do you know when its the "right time" for kids?
I personally don't trust myself to provide what a child needs so what happens if I do fall pregnant? Its highly unlikely but there's something in my stupid female brain that longs for a baby.

When you can support, and are ready to give up your free time, your sleep and your money - I think that's generally when it's the "right time".
It differs from person to person though. Everyone has a different opinion - some people insist you need a "man" (or woman!) in your life to have a kid, some say women can do it alone.
Personally - I wouldn't want a child without my better half. I wouldn't have a kid "Just because I want one" if I didn't have a husband.
So, yeah. When you're ready to give up a hell of a lot, and put the child entirely before your needs, then it's "time".
There is no right or wrong time. Sure, you'd want to be able to support your family or have a husband, but so many people just do it. Unplanned or planned.
Just as long as you aren't too old in the end. Good luck. :P
