I do not think that 28 is too late to start living your life. You have already have accomplished so much by going to college (I know people in their fifties just starting their college experience and many other people who will never go). When you do meet that special someone, you will be more financially stable and better able to care for them.
My fiance is 28 years old; we met this year through the grace of God. He is going to college to be a musician but didn't didn't start learning music until he was well into his 20s. It would be thoughtless to just tell you to be happy. But what I can tell you is that you have all the power to make your life a happy one.
If it makes you feel any better, I don't think that most people are married with a house at your age anymore - they just aren't! The economy is doing very poorly and the housing market is awful. Everyday thousands of people that bought houses are losing them. Another factor against you is our culture. America doesn't let many people marry young nowadays. You are encouraged to stay self-centered.
I'm not saing that you are self-centered. In many many ways, it may be smarter to wait awhile before raising a family. I think you are smart for this.
Another bit of info I will give you is this: don't date people out of desperation. Make sure you search for a person whom you will truely love. If a family is what you want, there are many wonderful people out there that would die to have a thoughtful future-oriented person to care for them like yourself.
28 is NOT TOO OLD! Find what you are passionate about and start following that passion. I'll be thinking of you so let me know where that search takes you.
Life is what you make of it. Its never too late! Start living each day to the fullest, do whatever you like most!
dont give up...do your best to live it up!
try something and find your goal
No, never give up on life period no matter what! You had to get yourself together and that was for the best for you.
Its never to late to start life!!!
keep up the good work hun!!!
No you are definitely not too old. I don't even want to tell you how old I was when I got married and had kids! If you are 28, it is way too EARLY to give up trying! Go for the career you want. And it's probably a great time for you to buy a house since the housing market has tanked, prices are much lower than a few years ago.
The best is yet to come
too old ???? at 28 ?? think of what you just said,,,its never too late, and you are still young,,,move your *** and stop feeling sorry for yourself...im 57 and I don"t consider myself old...I will not sit in the rocker untill im 97
go to the nearest sixflags. that always make me feel good and young.
Well you cant spell and you have gone to college so I would be a little worried and possibly focus on that a little bit. NO your not to old to start life. I just changed businesses and Im 39. Change is scary but your never to old to start.
You are CERTAINLY NOT too old! :) 28 years old is young by any standard. Congrats on graduating college. You should be proud of yourself, not down on yourself. Now is the time that you need to decide what you want to do. Find a job doing something you love. Get out and meet people, and the rest will fall into place. And whatever you do.... you should not give up trying. :)
You've already started to live, believe it or not. You've grown up, haven't you? And you've gone through college. I'd say it's unfortunate for your friends who have apparently begun their life with a wife and children. Don't live according the the codes of society. You're 29 years young, have a college degree, and can now do whatever you will.
Oh, and don't mind Stephanie. Her punctuation and grammar aren't quite par.
You have many accomplishments , a decent education is a very good thing to have these days. 28 is not to old at all. You've survived the hardest period of life for most people (Teenage years, early adult development). I know someone who's been struggling over 20 years and not accomplished what you have. You got where you are today, so you must have abilities to achieve even more.
Who told you you should be married with your own house by now.
What would you say to someone your own age who you care about who would be talking like you are now. Would you tell a friend in your shoes to give it up, its too late, forget about it? If not then why would you tell yourself similiar things. Also, if its too late at age 28, what about a 50 year old? Would you say a 50 year old should give up trying?
You feel this way but do you really THINK what you are saying is right? What do you really think? When you get your thoughts straight on this, your feelings should follow along and you will see your life afresh. I think it is natural to feel down sometimes but thinking it through can really help.
You can sit in your room with a pencil and paper and write at the top, "What I would say to someone my age or older who feels like it is too late to start life because she just graduated college last year and doesn't have a house." Then, write it up! I think you know the answers - if you let yourself think it out, you'll see it more realistically. And follow your own good advice that you come up with.
Good luck!
If you dont want answers like Stephanie gave why ask questions at all? It seems to me that she was just saying what most people were thinking and then she said that she started a new business when she was 39 which shows that she answered your question.
Not everyone speaks the same but I dont think her answer was bad enough for you to go off the deep end and cussing.
Hopefully you arent the type to give her the thumbs down and then write her a hateful email and then put her on ignore so she cant respond...because that would just be childish.
I mean what does your question have to do with mental health... you didnt mention having a mental health condition....or did you just think everyone knew it?
Stephanie did answer you. If you dont want individualized answers then you shouldnt post. ... unless you just want the same ole answer.
I don't think that is old at all. I have known people who made major changes in their lives in their 30's, 40's and 50's. I'm sure there are even people older than that who have made changes. You have to do it. No one else can. Write down what you want to do, then write under it all that must be done to reach that goal. Line them up in order and if necessary, break those down into smaller steps. Take one step at a time and eventually you will do it. Good luck.
