Has your life gone the way you expected it to? What did you imagine your life would be like now when you were a child? When you were a teenager? Shortly after education? Somewhere between leaving education and now?

If it's different to what you expected, why?

What about your life in the future? Do you think it will actually turn out that way, or do you think it will be different? Why?

Actually, it was quite surprising. I can't remember what I was doing but it suddenly occurred to me that I hung out with my friends in much the same way I did as a kid - except that we were doing the kind of things now that I'd always wanted to do. In the main I'm hanging around with people who've not really taken on any more responsibility. I've gravitated towards people whose sense of play is still able to be first and foremost.

My biggest fears about being sensible, serious and 'grown-up' came about after I finished university. For a six years or so I had much less social interaction, few toys and a lot of money worries. This was what being a grown-up had always threatened to be - but it passed and I'm now just another 30-something, single big kid.

Interesting. I certainly think you've got an important point there :)
