Some people need a dozen roses - Alicia Keys
I don't need a dozen of them but a stalk that pops outta the blue can be pretty sweet too.
Dear friends, it's Sunday once more, how are you coping?
Coming day marks the first official week (to me) of June and yes, we crossed the last of half 2007.
Pretty scary that time just flies like this.
At my age, I guess one of the more "popular" topic is Marriage.
How did gals of my age managed to get hitch...so early? Note, it's not fast but early?
Honestly I question not the matter of having the sufficient amount in the account. (Although that matters too.) But I am skeptical of the mentality and the emotion preparation to ride to the next stage.
When I was young and dreamy(still quite a dreamer), I thought it is quite ideal to marry at 24,25 and settle for my first baby at 27. Maybe a generation before me (those born in early 80s or late 70s) would have been able to achieve that and that is not a surprise.That just fits the picture ideally.
A colleague of mine just surprised us with an invitation to her ROM on this 30th.(It was not quite a surprise for me but still...) She is 24 this year and she is gonna get hitched.
She is following the norm whereby you ROM first and settle for the banquet 1 or 2 years later.
When I was much younger, I thought ROM is just like getting engaged. Little do I know that ROM marks you a MARRIED person. This idea doesn't much strikes me pleasantly.
I have my friends who are yearning to marry asap but to me...marraige..??
It's not that I have a phobia or some sorta negative approach towards it. I still think being able to find the right person and marrying is a beautiful thing. But I am a working person for around 2-3 years now(I can't recall exactly how long has it been since I graduated.) I met my fair share of married women.
Marriage doesn't ends with the beautiful and romantic proposal,(which it better BE a romantic and beautiful one!)the exhausting wedding preparation but seemly worth it at the end, the vows and rings exchange, the sourcing & establishment of a new nest and happily ever after.
It took alot of efforts throughout the whole journey to make it work. We have witnessed so many unhappy and even brokendones that reality does manage to sink in my mindframe.
More importantly to me, by saying "I do" means you are gonna step to a next phase of life. This next phase suddenly looks daunting to me. I live by comfortably now and really, I have not really settled down on heart affairs matter. It took me so long and still I am not able to make up my mind on a beautiful one besides me now or a beautiful one stuck in the past.(and a beautiful one that stands in between)
I asked my colleague how did she get ready? I mean, the kinda emo-preparation is very important, isn't it?I dunno if I can bring myself to say yes to a proposal if I were her. She is after all only 24. I can't imagined a year later, I would be able to make the same decision. (Is this called peer pressure? Haha.) She smiled and told me to wait for another year. Underlined statement. I wondered would a year really makes the difference?
A year later if I am still with Jason, he would have a job, maybe a career. Would we be able to make the decision of that happily ever after then?
Honestly I do envy my friends who are married but again, that's not my culture. I cant accept things when I am not prepared to. I don't follow blindly and I know, I am not eligible also.(Blah!)
How did I digress so much?
Tomorrow...Am I ready?
Oh Fyn, if you read this...hold me tight.
Mia, when you reveal your true colors in love, you're a Romantic Partner
You put your trust in old-fashioned love and romance. As a result, you don't want just any partner. You're looking for a devoted soul mate.
On your search for that person, you're one who can truly appreciate the rituals of courtship. Flowers, holding hands, thoughtful notes — these are the kinds of things that can set a heart like yours aflutter.
Once you've found that special someone who stirs your desire, a Romantic Partner like you may have a tendency to disappear in the throws of this passionate romance entirely.
But don't worry, once the relationship matures, you'll likely come up for air.
