Maybe it’s because I’ve been incredibly unlucky in love, but I’ve been noticing a lot of my friends getting married. I mean, I’m 24. A lot of the people I know that are getting married are younger than me.
The first thing that comes to my mind is: Why in the fuck would you do something like that to yourself while you’re so fucking young?
Again, maybe I just feel this way because I haven’t found the right one, and maybe my views on the subject would change if I do find love soon…but really, there’s a lot of the world that needs to be seen, and so many things that you can only do when you’re young, single, and full of piss and vinegar.
Maybe I’m just pissed because a lot of my married friends are just becoming more boring.
Lord knows, if I do wed, I don’t want it to change me. We will be socialites. We will be envied for our vigor, our energy, and how we love. We’ll have a couple kids and a dog.
This is not to say that everyone who weds young is subject to my current diatribe…but the majority of the people I’ve known for the past few years and have wed are—maybe it’s just my frustration with this odd culture that Orange County perpetuates…or maybe I’m just a curmudgeon.
I’m not anti-marriage, but I am against the idea of it being used as a scapegoat into a new life. Marriage should extend your life and vitality—not divert your life and rob you of your vigor.
marriage shouldn’t change you and be this necessary impetus for the next stage in your life. when you find the person that amplifies your own personality; when that person makes the lights shine brighter; when that person makes music have more meaning; when that person makes life easier and not harder. that’s when you think, ‘hmmmm, is this the one?’ even then, it still may not be the one.
hehe. but what do i know? i’m 31. i’ve been engaged, never married, and i’m just now beginning to live MY life, happy as fu¢k. i have a love in my life. she has two wheels and 750cc’s
