Anti-Marriage for everyone
It’s been said it’s easier in this society to be straight rather than gay. Joel and I had this conversation, and I gave him my view on it all.
I say sure, perhaps for some people. However, it doesn’t apply to all. Straight people have that pressure to get married. To HURRY and get married, to then have kids. It’s *expected*, it’s "common."
I never had that desire to hurry up and get married, nor the desire to have children. Some of my friends got married…MOST of them are divorced now, or going through a divorce. Divorce sucks, and is very messy for those not aware.
Or those who I graduated with back in my hometown who got married, if they’re not divorced, then they have children (whether married or not) and say how they feel "stuck." Some even bought their parent’s houses, or live near their parents. Or would feel guilty if they got a divorce now because they’re so "set in their life."
That’s why I’m not married.
That’s why I moved far, far away from that area. All the way to Colorado.
That’s why I decided, I don’t care that I’m 27, I’m going to go camping this weekend with a ton of friends, end up topless around a campfire Friday, and then the next day do some shrooms, then Sunday have an outdoor breakfast of bagels, fruit and Mimosas (Champagne and Orange Juice.)
That’s why I still have fun. Because I don’t want a sucky life. I don’t want to be "stuck," or feel like I can’t have fun, or that all my friends are too busy or whatever. I like hanging out with a group of 18 people drinking around a campfire, playing guitar and bongo drums and singing in a field of wildflowers at an altitude of 11,200 feet, only miles from Vail, World-Famous Ski Resort.
Hell yeah. So that was my most recent adventure.
I’m going camping again this coming weekend. I don’t think it will be like this past weekend, but it’s sure to be fun times.
I was asked by my Madame DeFarge group what my dream wedding is (they’re trying to plan mine for me, since I haven’t even started planning.)
I realized I never had a dream wedding. I never really thought about being married.
So now I’m debating. I’ve been proposed to and accepted, have an engagement ring, and as of tomorrow, I will have been engaged for THREE years.
Will I ever get married? What’s the hurry anyway?
I know I’ve found my soulmate, that’s all that I need, right?
