There are really people in the world who think long hair is inappropriate for someone over thirty? Voraciously ignore those people. They know not of what they speak.
I can really sympathize with this post. I've got a few years on you, and I'm still hoping to have children some day - meanwhile, my classmates have teenagers and my brother and sister are both grandparents. I, on the other hand, wear black t-shirts with band names on them, play games with homemade fake weapons and toy guns, and, because I'm on my own again, do things like wonder if so-and-so likes me and whether I should ask her out, the sort of things high schoolers do. And I now have to do all of these things while growing old, which makes me want on several levels to do none of them.
But, as George Burns used to say, growing old isn't so bad when you consider the alternative. In reading through your post, I think you're one step ahead of any piece of advice I'd give. You've got the problems but, in true you style, you also know what to do. The only thing I'd recommend to you is to remind yourself daily that you've got lots of friends who love you.
