I am very excited to say that I will have a nephew at the end of June this year. I am so happy for my brother, sis-in-law, and niece. Adding another one to the family.
As I've been thinking about them and my own life it is weird to think that I will also have kids sometime in the future (at least I hope I do... I think I hope so anyway haha). I have been thinking about what it means to grow up and what becoming an adult looks like. I am realizing as I get older and new children are born that time continues to move forward despite how I've sometime viewed life. And what I mean is that time, the earth, life, etc. does not revolved around me (crazy, right?) I know that sounds ridiculous but I have definitely looked at life like this before. I have had this selfish/egotistical/ideal view that as my life progresses time moves right in step. But that is not at all the case.

As I see my brother have children I see that a new generation is being born and growing up. In a decade or so I will be the uncle (I am one already, but I mean the uncle that my niece and nephew will recognize as their uncle). Those figures (my uncles) that I had as a child and as I grew up... I will be that guy. Time is a weird thing. And so is growing up (I just hope that growing up is accompanied by maturity as well).
