A Rainy Saturday Afternoon...
I am really enjoying the recent cold, slightly damp atmosphere in the weather nowadays.
There is something about the dim, shady overcast in the air that makes me feel like I am more connected to my own inner self, which makes for more thorough self-reflects.
And what I really want in my life right now.
Recently, I have been spending quite a bit of time with a friend who is married. And it dawns on me that married and single people are really different, no matter how alike we are. Sometimes talking to her, I feel like an immature child with all these unimportant concerns.
For example, while I am fussing over what to wear for a night out, she will be thinking about her children's school results and if she should spend more time monitoring their studies. Or I can be gushing over a particularly lovely bag I really want, and she is calculating her budget for the month and whether she needs to cut back on her expenditure.
And while I do hope to one day be married and have such worldly concerns, I do not see that happening in my life for maybe a good five or seven years? Sometimes I have no idea why friends around my age wants to get married so quickly. We spent a good bit of our lives studying and living at the mercy of our parents' generosity with allowances, now that we finally get a bit of financial freedom, shouldn't we enjoy it all the bit more?
Of course, I am not saying that there's something wrong with wanting to get married. I am a die-hard romantic who dreams of getting sweep off my feet by a Luke Brandon (Confessions Of A Shopaholic, anyone?). But that is of course if I don't have to worry about monthly installments and University money, right? =]
