Reading about how many people (in this thread alone) wear mismatching/random socks doesn't make it seem so random anymore.

When I was in my early 20s I lived for being random/spontaneous. Last minute, drop of a hat activities, plans... you name it. On a whim when I was 19 I moved from my hometown to a huge city 3.5 hours south of it. Because I could. Being spontaneous is much easier when you don't have responsibilities or things to tie you down.

Now that I'm a mother, and "common law" married I can't just up and go. Well no, I could if I really wanted to... but my feelings/ties to my OH and my daughter are too strong and negate any sort of "Lets go!" mentality. I don't mind though! I spent my 20s doing what I wanted, when I wanted and have no regrets. Now that I'm in my 30s I feel okay with settling down and enjoying life with a more routine aspect.

Spontaneous in my life now is what I can get accomplished while my daughter takes a nap!
