        <p>It&#39;s July once again and, before the end of the month, I will be a quarter of a century old. Hyuck.</p><p>The time of year when I become sentimental has come.</p><p>Gone are the days when I wished I were older. Now that I&#39;m old enough to be someone&#39;s mom (and I am someone&#39;s mom), and that I now have a household to run without having to leech off of my dad&#39;s money, I find myself wishing that I can remain a little girl forever. The hassles of parenthood and adult relationships is taking a toll on me.</p><p>I should say things should be a little bit happier in the homefront, compared to last year, but I feel almost the same, really. The same insecurities which I have never really overcome. The same hopes and expectations I have yet to reach. </p><p>My own fault, actually, that I listen to what &quot;the others&quot; had to say. But hey I can&#39;t help feeling insecure about so many things, and that I can&#39;t help listening and wanting to know. Curiosity gets the best of me. Jealousy, too.</p><p>It&#39;s the time of year when I look at myself and evaluate, &quot;How far have I gone? How much better have I become?&quot;</p><p>And at times, I find myself unable to answer.</p><p>Or I&#39;m probably just depressed again.</p>    <p style="clear:both;">
