You’re Not the Fun-Loving Party Animal You Once Were
Hey there, friend! Let’s be real for a minute. Remember those carefree days in your 20s when you could party like there was no tomorrow? I sure do! I spent my 20s living it up, diving headfirst into all sorts of late-night escapades. It felt like the perfect time to indulge because, let’s face it, eventually, we all have to grow up and settle down, right?
Now that I’m in my 30s, my life has shifted dramatically. I’m now on duty, keeping two little humans happy and healthy. Is this the settling down phase everyone talks about? For the most part, I’m totally on board with our cozy, family-centered life. But every so often, that wild side of me bubbles up, craving just a taste of the old party girl I used to be. I try to keep that inner party animal under wraps, but sometimes I just want to ditch the yoga pants and ponytail, slip into some heels, and dance like nobody’s watching at a lively bar.
Usually, this urge is easy to manage since I know that wild side isn’t really welcome at playdates or morning coffee meet-ups. But it turns out, I’m not alone in feeling this way. It’s like an unspoken truth among moms that nobody talks about until someone brings it up. And once you do, you realize there are tons of moms out there who also yearn to let loose.
But be warned—opening that can of worms can lead to some serious consequences. When you’ve suppressed your wild side for so long, all that pent-up energy can explode, and it can be a challenge to rein it in.
Imagine This
Imagine this: a rare night out where your 30-something self gets to party like it’s 1999. After a few drinks, you might feel like you’ve been whisked back in time. But here’s the catch—you’re not the same person you used to be!
Your former self could stumble off the dance floor at dawn, craving greasy food without a second thought. You’d crash into bed, waking whenever you felt like it. Ah, those were the days, right?
The new you? You’ll find yourself dancing like Shakira, but let’s face it, your tolerance has definitely dipped. You’ll have a blast because you rarely go out these days. Yet, you’ll come home, and even in that wine haze, you’ll know that midnight snacks are a no-go—hello, mommy muffin top!
You’ll kick off your heels, only to realize your feet feel like they’ve been through the wringer. You’ll fall asleep, but not for long. A tiny finger will poke your nose, demanding breakfast, and by morning, you’ll feel like you’ve aged three decades overnight. You’ll drag yourself out of bed, wondering if a small animal took up residence in your mouth while you were sleeping. And guess what? No time for recovery because you’ve got a toddler’s birthday party or a dance recital to attend.
By the end of it, you’ll swear off partying for good, only to realize hangovers now last for days instead of hours. When did that happen? Aging can be such a prankster, reminding you that the wild days are behind you.
So, if you find yourself reminiscing about those fun nights out, just know that you’re not alone. And when you’re ready to explore family planning options, check out this great resource on home insemination.
