An acquaintance recently said to me, "Marryin seems to b the trend nowadays.. I've gone to so much weddings that im sick of it. What the hell with getting hitched - I really dun understand. I still haven't had enuff fun, travelled to enuff counries... so much things to do...tats y i say i still feel 21 when weekends come."
I told him that he can still do all of those even after marriage and that he is NOT 21. Of course friends around his age would be getting married. He should be happy for them. And why not marriage, if both parties are willing to take their relationship to another level?
Then he mentioned that after marriage, he has to worry abt $$, house, bills, etc etc...huge load of responsibilites and that he doesn't think he is ready for that. And that he is more of a laidback and free spirited guy who wants to enjoy while hes still/feel young..
Well, your parents do have such challenges before and did that stop them from having you? People in the good old days didn't have much money but they were happy back then. Now, people have more $$$ but they could never be happy if they do not know how to feel contented.
Contentment- treasuring and loving everyone and everything you have. Do not wait till you lose them, or you will be sorry for the rest of your life.
Nevertheless, don't give up your dreams and goals in life, as we need challenges from time to time, to make our lives more exciting and fufilling.
"Happy marriages begin when we marry the ones we love, and they blossom when we love the ones we marry."
$$$. Don't think too much into it or it may rob you of your friends and loved ones.
