I Am Officialy Old

Thats right people, I'm old... I'm 16... Just turned 16 25 minutes ago. It's 0:25 right now...
*sigh* I noticed it when it was 0:02. Then I washed my face and brushed my teeth. My mom says 16 is an 'important moment in life'. From now on, I can drink, smoke and party legally.
But as I looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but think:
In 4 years I'm 20... then I'm an official 20-something... and then I have 10 years to get happy before I turn into a 30-something and get the lable 'desperate' if I'm not 'happy' yet.
In other words, I have 14 years to go... and in other words... I just passed the 'half way to go' line. I spend more time becoming happy then I have left to make it happen.
And how far am I? I'm single. Thats as far as I am, which technically still is on the start-line, and I got a whole round to go! Yes, I have been kissed, so I got my 1st stamp for reaching the finishing line or 'happily ever after'. Is that really our goal?
I decided for myself that I never want to have children and maybe not even want to get married. How will people then look at me when I have a relationship with a man? Will they think I won, will they think I got a few more stops to go? I don't know and I don't understand...
Are we wasting time on making outselves the way that pop-culture today wants us to be or are we really doing what we want? If we are then where does the judgement coming from?

I'm sorry, it's late, I'm 16... This happens to you then, you start talking bullshit.
Sayonara,
