So another one of your friends has gotten engaged.
Funmi’s just had a baby.
The wedding pictures of Ndidi’s beautiful day have just been posted.
You’re a combination of happiness, for your friend’s happiness, mixed with a bit of befuddlement, because when did everyone start getting married?
And add to that a brief but potent jolt of panic that you’ve missed your time for rings and wedding bells and baby booties,
immediately followed by the incredulous laugh at your own silliness, because—
You’re only 22 or 26 0r 30 0r even 40 years old
