Recently I've come across too many young individuals who are either married, going to get married/engaged, waiting for a proposal from their long term partner, and then flaunting the big rock on the finger to the whole world. And people who are just dying to get tied down or seriously considering this lifetime commitment with people whom I am not quite sure is the right one for them.
OK i should stop being the cynical bitch here. No offense to anybody. It's not that i don't believe in the institution called marriage. Or that I don't ever wanna get married. Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I do believe in finding THE ONE, being swept off your feet by THE ONE, and settling down with THE ONE happily ever after, eventually.
Yes people, the key word here is eventually. To me, marriage is a lifetime commitment which involves so many issues and parties. It is not a joke! Just when you think you've come to terms with it, you discover more nooks and crannies that are tangled up with this thing called marriage. You need to be mentally, physically, emotionally and financially prepared before you enter this new chapter of life. And I wonder if these people actually question themselves before they make this sacred choice. And personally, I have so many things to achieve first before I settle down. Too many things need to be done and be put in place. I need to feel the satisfaction of realising all my personal goals and dreams and say that I've succeeded. I am happy with the way things are right now and bottomline is I'm definitely not prepared for such a huge commitment like this. At least not now.
So for those who have found THE ONE they wanna be with, congratulations. And for those who share my sentiments, I say fret not. There's no need to rush, really. Coz after all, all's well that ends well. :)
