For the last couple weeks, one thing continues to pop up - marriage.
Here is my question - What is the rush?! I am only 25. Don't get me wrong - I think marriage is a wonderful thing. But you are spending the REST of your life with this person (or should be planning on it). You think you know at 20-25 who you are? I have changed so much in who I am and what I want in the last 5 years that it is insane! The people I went to high school went don't know me anymore and I don't know them. Even since graduating from college 3 years ago. We all change so great.
I hope that people can find someone who makes them happy. I hope they have truly met the person they are going to spend the rest of their lives with. I hope it is someone who loves you unconditionally, who is willing to adjust as you change, and grow with you as the bumps and turns along the road shake your mere foundation.
Maybe my issue is that I have always been independent. I am so used to being alone and functioning as just me that it has become okay. Why should I rush to be with someone when in my world, it is okay to just be me? I can do whatever I want, whenever I want to do it. Who knows where I am going to be in 5 years or 10 years. I wish people were willing to embrace the fact that we have our whole lives to find that right person.
