#i'm updating the family birthday and anniversary calendar as a christmas gift for my grandparents and#it's kinda just driving home how very much i am in a different stage of life than the majority of my cousins :/#like.#oldest uncle's kids: married with kids; married with kid; single with chickens; living with SO; expecting a baby#other uncle's kids: married with kid; married; dating#one aunt's kids: married with 4 kids; married with kids; married with kid; married with newborn#another aunt's kids: married with kids; married with kid; married with foster kid; married with kids; single; in high school#and then my family is me (single) and blue (single)#and yes i know there is some degree of cultural difference (my aunts and their families are still in the huldeman church)#and some degree of age difference (blue and i are among the youngest cousins on this side)#but it's still kind of a. bittersweet? idk. a weird feeling. to know that they're all building their own families and i'm just. me.#don't get me wrong i'm not discontented with where i am in life#i just sometimes spend time with them and wish i could have that (husband who loves me and cooks&hosts with me and adorable kids) too#idk i'm just in my feelings a bit rn#also like. i don't actually know most of my cousins kids? heck i haven't seen some of my cousins in years#so there's also a bit of 'we used to be close but now you're off doing your own thing with your own little family'#'and im still here just being me'#about
