Hurriedness

Hurriedness-speed, rush, quickness





That word always bothered me. It never seemed like a real word.


At 30, in 2009, that word applies to basically everything in my life. When are you buying that house? When are you going to get married? When are you having babies? When are you going to stop talking to "Him"?


What is the rush? I find that each step along the way, once you get/achieve one piece, everyone always asks about the next step instead of reveling in the present. We are always looking ahead to the next big thing.


I recently got a new job. It is the perfect fit for me. The salary is prefect, the flexibilty is amazing, and the people are intelligent and fun. Once I got this dream job, the obvious became even more apparent. Why are you single?



That is the trillion dollar question that people have asked single women through out time. In the 1950's you were considered an old maid and ended up living with your relatives and/or best friend watching other people's children playing outside (sweeping generalization by the way); in the 1960's and 70's it became a bit easier with the feminist movement and you were considered BFF with Gloria Steinem and didn't need a man to do anything unless you wanted them; the 1980's and 1990's women really kicked butt in the workforce and balanced motherhood and their professions. This decade seems a bit odd. You would think that women would be embraced for being single. That is not the case. If you disagree it would be for one of two reasons: 1. You are not single. 2. You are not friends with a single woman.
