21 here, some of my peers are already married with kids and I don't know if I will ever feel ready for either. And to be frank, I'm fucking scared.  


Edit: Thanks for the replies! I am not planning on rushing or anything. I probably shouldn't be concerning myself about such things at this age as I am yet to graduate university, find a place to live away from my parents and a more pernament job. I am quite anxious about big life changes and having a kid is deffinitely one. It's not that I don't want to have children, rather I don't know if I will be able to handle the stress and responsibility that come with them. But as many of you said, \*knocks on wood\* I got plenty of time.

Hey, let me tell you something. At 21 your job isn't to feel ready for any of those things. Don't be scared, even if you never decide to have children it's fine. Your peers are not and should not be someone you look up to - they just happen to be around. Let them do them, and you do you. Don't be a consequence of your surroundings, kids should be planned and a product of a loving, financially responsible family.
