Perhaps this is all chit-chat, but I purpose a question to all of you...
Does or has anyone ever been surprised by what you want to do at this age in your life?

Now, if you don't understand, here's some back story...
I propositioned a friend of mine the question, "at what age do we stop being 'young'?" and that that got us discussing. I personally think it's when you have a family. You're then old enough to make your own decisions (even if you're in your twenties already and have been making your own decisions for a while now) so you shouldn't be called "young" anymore.
Then we got on the subject how people assume that since we're in our mid-twenties that we should have a boy/girl friend and be thinking about a family versus focusing on our careers. Though the fact of the matter is that (and my friend makes a very valid point) our age-group is very career-based. Sure, some of us have boy/girl friends, but there's always a career to think of. It's almost as if our boy/girl friends come second over our careers.

So what are your thoughts on the subject? I'm probably opening up a can of worms here, but I need more inspiration for a poem I'm currently writing regarding this question if you all must know my reasoning here.
