Age is just a number

I don’t want to brag but every time when someone asking me how old I am, he/she usually doesn’t believe that I am 26. Yes, I don’t look like my age. I don’t even act like one. I’m still a childish sometimes and not really yet a woman. Yesterday, my best friend tried to put some make up on my face as an experiment. I must admit that I really don’t like it. I prefer to be like this forever. A girl with the band T-shirt, skinny jeans and without a makeup even I’m aware of the fact that I’m not going to be forever young or forever a girl. I must grow up and be a woman that wears a dress. I want to change but apparently change is not that easy. Worse thing to come, people keep telling me to start changing. That I must act like my age, I should stop going to rock concerts and start taking life seriously.  

Most of my friends that are the same age as mine either already married, engaged or dating each other for long times. They start to develop their career while I’m still not figure out when I’m going to finish my study. They start to think about serious thing like getting married while I’m still searching for my ‘the one’. One of my best friends is getting engaged today. Of course I am happy for her. She has been in a relationship with that guy like forever. I want to be like her too. Getting engaged and start worrying about where is the place that I should stay to start my family and all those creepy stuff; but not now. Is it my fault that I’m growing up late than others? People should stop saying that I’m 26 and I should bla bla and bla. Life is not a race. I do want to watch my child grow up before I’m too old. But if I’m not ready to be an adult just yet, should I force myself to take life seriously because of others said so?  

"Here to never grow up, bitches!" - me to people that keep telling me to grow up.
