I am so glad I have a penis.
Marriage makes little sense to me unless you the groom and have already knock-ed up the bride or in a hurry for a house full, screaming, hungry, mouths to feed.
If we make it past this whole Mayan calnedar thing (thinking the world will end in Dec of 2014, really hinders all long term planning…), my tune will change, but it’s hard to think that much about long term relationships when short term ones present enough challenges.
I do get what JLNDW is talking about, being alone during the asshole of a night, especially with a talky G-d/mother nature outside popping zits coming out as loud, lightening with nothing but the covers over your head and hoping the phone buzzed in the dead middle of one of the bolts, you didnt hear it, and when you look at your mobile for the time or what not, it has called and your heart rests…It’s easier to turn your heart in to Abu-Garhib, keep her cold, antiseptic to avoid any pain, even it means missing out on some of the pleasure.
One of my best friends, who is 19, is engaged.
Yup, she’s getting married. She has found the man of her dreams. He makes her so happy! I mean, this girl is kind of crazy and he has really grounded her, supported her, helped her grow up, and has been there for her. And he is her soulmate.
I know that some people may frown at that age saying she’s too young and she doesn’t know what she wants. He IS 25 and so he is definitely ready for marriage, and honestly I believe she is too. If they’re in love, why wait.
I have to say that part of me is a little envious. She is so happy and so excited….and so in love. He really just makes her laugh, compliments her personality and intelligence, and most of all, is trusting and makes her happier then when I have ever known her.
That is a true sign of love….if its the happiest you have EVER been, its worth keeping and protecting. If it hasn’t been, then many things need to change. And after all that has happened in both this friend’s life and mine, I DO believe that its possible for people and relationships to change….and for the better.
Congratulations friend! I wish you every happiness!
