You are a year younger than I was when I discovered my wife was pregnant with my daughter.
At that time I felt the same, couldn't imagine kids, needed my peace and quiet, liked doing grown up things, sleeping when I wanted, etc.
But during her pregnancy I think my brain rewired and it was like the greatest thing that ever happened to me. It helped me understand that when it's time to take those steps your mind will be ready, you won't have to force yourself to want it, you'll just know it's right and that it's time like a glass of cool water when you're thirsty.
If you think about adult responsibilities as a kid it freaks you out. But as the mind matures you are prepared, and that doesn't stop when you turn 18 or 21 or even 33, maturity is an ongoing process.
Your mind will continue to evolve as long as you don't resist the changes. I feel like if you do resist it, that's where insanity comes in, when you insist on clinging to a state of mind that you have or should have evolved beyond.
It doesn't mean you can't enjoy the things you enjoy now, it just means you have to open your mind and heart to new challenges.
