Texting at my age is too old


This is my pretty pink blackberry. I love my phone. I've had many different cells. I usually buy a new cell once a year. Everyone who knows me I've always been addicted to my cells. I can't help it. My cell phones become the lifeline to my social life. It's really the biggest tool I use to communicate with most of my local friends. I text and I use Blackberry messenger. It's convenient, easy, and while my friends work they can still talk to me (don't worry not like they're talking to customers so they can get away with it).

Today though my cell phone made me "old". A girl at Kai's bus stop was joking around about me drop kicking my phone to see if it would break and I told her I couldn't because then I wouldn't be able to text my friends. She looked at me and told me I was too old to be texting. Lol what? Me old? It's the first time I've actually had someone tell me I was old. I don't think this girl realizes that I was texting probably before she was walking....well okay probably not but you get the picture.

I've had a cell since high school. People made fun of me for having a cell in high school, and now everybody has one! I don't understand how I'm too old to text when texting came into play a few years ago when I started buying cell phones once a year. In the beginning I wasn't huge into it, but now I'm a pro.

I think part of it is I don't feel like my age......I know a lot of people say that, but I really don't feel like I'm 26. I still feel like I'm 21/22 and I think it's because my life just hasn't really progressed all that much or isn't really that much different than it was at that age. I'm still technically a single mom and although I finally did schooling don't have my paper to prove it because I have to pay off my tuition first. The only thing that has progressed with my relationship is we moved in together. Our relationship hasn't taken and step ups though. We're still just boyfriend and girlfriend like we've always been and to be honest I don't think that'll ever change, we're not even common law and never will be (don't get me started on that). We'll never be engaged, married, or parents to a new baby. So see stuck in a rut of life where I haven't done things to feel like I'm more grown up. Sure once I had Kai I grew up in the sense I took on the responsibility of being a parent and providing for him, but that's it.

Some days I just sit and analyze everything and think well if I had done this differently or made that choice instead of that one, than maybe my life would be different today. I'm always second guessing and questioning what I did.

Lol at least she didn't tell me I was too old for Twilight......doesn't make sense at all that I'm too old to have a cell and text, but not to read a book aimed at younger readers lol. Wow amazing how I can turn a rant about cells and being old into other things. It just makes you think when you hear that type of stuff I guess. No I don't think I'm too old.....lol I'll never be too old for anything.....well okay one thing I'm too old for....bars....no thank you anymore.
