I am reading book Something Borrowed.
I got this book from Austrailian girl who was one of my roommate in Hostel.
We gave me when I said I need somebook to pass the time.
She told me it is really fun and the story is about a good-natured women is cheating with best friend's fiance. It doesn't sound good but after I read the book, I start to liked the book and engaged.
This is one of parts that I couldn't agree more.
..."I thought my teenage years were dragging and my tweenties would surely last forever. Then I reached my twenties. And the early twenties did seem to last forever. When i Heard acquaintances a few years older lament the end of their youth, I felt smug, not yet in the danger zone myself. I had plenrt of time. Until about age tweenty-seven, when the days of being carded were long gone and I began to marvel at the sudden acceleration of years and the accompanying lines and stray gray hairs. At tweenty-nine the real dread sey in, and I realized that in a lof of ways I might as well be thirty. But not quite. Because I could still say that I was in my tweenties. I still had sonething in common with college seniors. I realized thirty is just a number, that you're only as old as you feel and all of that. I also realize that in the grand scheme for things, thirty is still young. But it's not that young. It is past the most ripe, prime childbearing years, for ezample. It is too old to, say, start training for an Olympic medal. Even in the best die-of-old-age scenario, you are still about one-third of the way to the finish line. So I can't help feeling uneasy as I perch on an overstuffed maroon couch in a dark lounge on the Upeer West Side at my surprise birthday party, orgniged by Darcy.who is still my best friend. She is always lucky one. She was always the most beautiful student in schools. After when I graduate school and got job but Darcy worked in bar, as a first time, I felt may be my life is getting better. However, it was wrong she was still the lucky one. After she talked with one of her customer in bar and be told to come interview tomorrow and she got awesome PR job. And unlike me who have lots of friends but couldn't fine right guy, she engaged awesome guy...... I had followd an orderly, Goody Two-shoes path with no deviations. I got straiht As in high school, went to collge, graduated magna cum laude, took the LSAT, went straight to law school and to a big law firm after that. No backpacking in Eureop, no crazy stories, no unhealthy, lustful relationships. No secrets. No intrigue. And now it seems too late for any of that. Because that stuff would just further delay my goal of finding a husband, settling down, having children and a happy home with grass and a garage and a toaster that toasts four clices at once"....
