So interesting. I'm 43--well older than you whippersnappers! When I was your age (back in the olden days of the 80s), it seemed like there was NO ONE my age into this really (all the metaphysical people seemed to be my mom's age or older)--made for a pretty lonely path in some ways. Or if there was, they were more into the artifacts and "play" of the metaphysical scene (the jewelry, wicca wear, etc) than in dedicating their lives to God. However, my mother and grandmother were both "awake", so I was never truly lonely. This has led to balance in my life: I have a traditional family (2 kids, 2 dogs), a great career, a solid "real world" university education, a husband who is supportive, despite not being "into" this...of course his mom is a reiki master and studied under Kay Sterner who was a psychic back in the day; she's also a spiritualist minister. You can imagine the interesting life my kids lead! And I know this is a personal decision, but I would offer this, parenthood is a sacred service--think of your own childhoods and imagine how things could have been different for you if you'd had a parent with the knowledge you have now--offering a body to a soul who wants to incarnate is amazing, offering to care for that soul while it deals with the difficult negotiation of adjusting to this world is amazing. I, and this is just me, did not know how full and complete love is until I experienced it in this way. Good luck young'ins! It's harder to be your age than it is to be mine!!! Many of the "big" questions of my 3D life have already been answered! (home, mate, job, etc.) Enjoy the journey of finding your own answers. Love to you all.
