Top 5 reasons why I know I’m getting old

  1. I get annoyed at concerts when I am surrounded of teenage girls shouting / screaming / jumping, when all I want to do is to enjoy the concert in peace! “Remember you were like one of them once” a friend of mine tells me. “Bollocks” I say, I was never that blooming annoying. Last time it happened was during the 30 Seconds To Mars concert in the Give it a Name festival in London. That band is awesome, great, musically perfect, but I couldn’t enjoy the music because of the amount of 13 year olds around me! You had to turn your attention to them at times because they were even more entertaining than the act!
  2. I rather stay in and watch a film, or have some friends over and play cards / board games than go out on a piss. Well, let’s be honest, it’s been years since I enjoy getting drunk. The last few times have been pretty embarrasing, and I don’t enjoy the feeling any more as when I was at uni. Those days are gone.
  3. I only drink alcohol when I feel like it and I enjoy it rather than feeling pushed by the rest of society. I enjoy a glass of white wine or a pint of beer occasionally at home while watching a film. And most of the times I just have a lemonade when I go out, because most of the times I’ll be driving back anyway!
  4. Teenagers annoy me regardless of what they do: drive moppeds at high speed in residential areas, sit in the park smoking and laughing at everybody, say stupid things that they think it makes them look intelligent, etc. No, I don’t like teenagers. Thank god I didn’t end up being a teacher.
  5. And finally: I am ready to settle down. For years I said no to marriage. I even had a full list of pros and cons against marriage, and I never thought it’d happen to me. But people change. I have changed. I have grown up, and I have finally realised that I AM getting old. Turning 30 was the first clue. Jon proposing to me and me saying yes was the last hint. Me being the happiest person ever because of that is the ultimate realisation. The final form of acceptance.

RingBy the way, I am getting married! On the night of our second anniversary together, Jon went on one knee and asked me to marry him. It caught me completely by surprise and for a few moments I didn’t even know what to say. But who was I trying to kid… I had been secretly wishing that this would happen for a long time. I just didn’t expect it to happen so soon!
We are now engaged and we are thinking to get a definitive date about May next year. Organising a wedding is a long and winding road, and there are far too many things to think, decide and contemplate before we rush into anything. But definitely, a process that I am looking forward to going through. Alongside my fiancé!
