The Three Oddest Words

by Wislawa Szymborska

When I pronounce the word Future,
the first syllable already belongs to the past.

When I pronounce the word Silence,
I destroy it.

When I pronounce the word Nothing,
I make something no non-being can hold.

(Translated by S. Baranczak & C. Cavanagh)

...where you are at this age.

When one of your friends touches the big 3, you tend to look back at your own life. Don't get me wrong, it's not because you want to compare. Rather, it's sort of a wanting to see what you have or have not achieved in your life.

Is marriage and family the ultimate get it all package in life?
