What if marriage and romantic happiness isn’t for everyone?
Heard from a friend that i haven’t seen in years today. He called to tell me he was engaged! I was like, “whoa, didn’t you just start dating this girl?” His reply? “But she’s the one i’ve been searching for all along…”
This is a friend who changed girlfriends faster than i changed boyfriends (rare i know). And it is so shocking to me that even he would wanna settle down. And at such a young age. I mean, you can hardly consider us as young. But 25 is like the beginning of your working life, an age you wanna fully commit yourself to work and not people. It got me thinking on a topic i’ve been wondering for some time: What if marriage isn’t for everyone? Do i really need a guy to survive? What if i never find my ‘half apple’?
Worse still, what if you found him and yet had to let him go? And when you accidentally bump into him in the corridors and he smiles at you so shyly and sweetly, it brightens up your whole day (and possibly the next few days), yet it leaves you feeling totally cold and empty knowing he’s not yours to keep…
If only you had an idea, any sort of idea, of what your smile means to me. Perhaps then, just perhaps, you would understand why i had to let you go…
