Whatever's left in the fridge pasta

I made a pasta because last days are a bit miserable. Weather is shit, boyfriend is being dramatic about long distance relationship and I'm being confused about my life like never before. Because how about if everyone is expecting you to be "an adult" and all you want to do it's to travel around a world with backpack and having new adventures. When people are having children, settling down and buying flats I can't stop the feeling that I couldn't care less about those things. Is that a fear ? Or maybe I am not ready? 
And how can I stay truly myself when surrounded by people who think that kids, flats and material goods and a key to happiness. I always knew I want to be free. I moved out from the mama's house in age of 21 and even if coming to London was super hard on the beginning, I was happy like never before. It was such a great feeling to be able to do whatever I want in any time I want with whoever I want. Now I feel like everyone wants to tell me how to live and what to feel and what would be the best for me. Please forgive me, but I won't follow job/flat/marriage/kids/holiday package from Thomas Cook every June until I die path. 
That's not me. I know that finding a very own way and being happy it's not easy but living a life to other's people's expectations is definitely the most tragic option. Even if growing older sucks and day by day we become more miserable and less brave, I need to remember I still have a sparkle and I'm a girl who believed in Peter Pan and wanted to achieve something big. I'm a girl who believes in magic and sparkles and I will not give up. 
Whatever's left in the fridge pasta 
(makes 3 portions)
250 g tagliatelle 
200 g sugar snap peas
1 salmon fillet 
2 garlic cloves
200 g fresh spinach
100 g pesto
Olive Oil
Parmesan 

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to the boil. Add pasta and cook it for around 6 minutes then add sugar snap peas and cook it for 2 minutes more. Drain and transfer pasta and peas back into the pot and leave it on the side.
Remove the skin from the salmon fillet and drizzle a medium size pan with the olive oil. Heat the pan over the medium heat. Chop garlic cloves and add to the pan. When garlic is slightly brown add salmon and fry it on both sides for around 3 minutes. When ready, take fork and cut the fish into small pieces. Toss in the fresh spinach and keep stirring until spinach becomes cooked and soft. Transfer spinach and salmon mixture to pot with pasta and add 100 g of pesto. Mix everything together, making sure all ingredients are fully covered in pesto. Add some more if needed. Serve with some good bread and sprinkled with a lot of parmesan.
