Recently I have been seeing a lot of my old friends getting engaged, or married on the book of faces.
Being in love is cool and all that, but I don't understand the whole signing yourself away to someone forever, needing a piece of paper to make it legit. I feel like if you love someone you shouldn't try to contract them to you. It's a little selfish in my eyes, "for better or for worse" no matter what your stuck with me! People change, life is all about changing and adapting, you can either grow with them, or be miserable. Most people are stuck in the later. I say to promise each other for as long as you can, but not forever. It's cute and sweet, the thought of forever but not realistic. Throw a party celebrating your love, and try to hold on to it for as long as possible. Be a partner, not a master. Maybe I'm just being cynical, or maybe I'm just being naïve, thinking that marriage is actually about love. Whatever it is, I know right now I'm not looking for the white picket fences, happily ever after. I just want someone to hold my hand.
