I feel like a tween

This has been on my mind lately...that I feel like a tween. I know, it sounds a bit awkward, but isn't that what being a tween is all about?

First of all, I am happy to report that I am no longer 11 years old and I don't have the unattractive pre-adolescent body that I used to have.  (no offense, 11 year olds).

So what do I mean?

First, some context. I've been reflecting a lot on the fact that I have lived here for a long time! 4.5 years to be exact. When I moved to DC I was a cute 24 year old who had no idea what a real job entailed. For about 2 years I basked in the Golden Era of DC singledom. And then it got kind of old. I'm at this point now where the DC scene doesn't hold the same glow and many of my friends are moving, getting married, having babies, getting further education, etc. So, what am I left with? A bunch of 24 year olds who are jittery to live the high life of the city. I love 24 year olds, don't get me wrong, but I'm 29 and it's just a different stage of life.

So here I am caught between worlds. I go to my ward--with a bunch of youngins'--but I'm not quite old enough to be in the mid singles activities either.What's a girl to do?

Well the good news is that this tween thing is really just a first world problem. But I had to get it off my chest anyway...
