Things have gone downhill for me the past two years, but I've managed to keep kicking. Even so, I don't think my lifestyle is all too healthy and I've kept myself pretty isolated. I'm 25 and I know that is still considered young, but I feel behind in life, as many people my age are married and starting a family. It's something I've wanted very badly for a long time, but I keep encountering people who don't want to take commitment (or life/responsibility, for that matter) seriously. The holidays are getting to me. I see my siblings with their significant others and children decorating for the holidays and I have to say I envy them a bit. I'm just lonely, depressed, and ready to settle down. It kind of feels like a lingering empty space following me around. Anyone else feel this way? Not that I wish this feeling on anyone, but I don't want to feel alone in this loneliness!
