LOL.

I was just thinking about this today. In the end I dont think it matters which path you take as long as you were happy to take it at the time and you dont have any regrets. Everyone is different and everyone will have different wants. I'm 31 and single and I can feel this disconnect between my married friends (with kids) and I.

Though the source escapes me, the best advice I've come across for avoiding this (and for living your life in general) was to the effect of "construct your life to fit you so perfectly that it's utterly incomparable with anyone elses."
