The Untied Knot (True confession)

The Untied Knot



I’m turning 27 soon. Friends and colleagues have started marrying up
over the past few years, and people have started to ask when I plan to
tie the knot. You see, “plan” is the operative word in all this. My
plan was to get married by the time I hit 28 years old. Girls Will Be Girls I
grew up doing the same things most girls do—attend soireés in high
school, indulge in the occasional flirtation with a cute crush, and
celebrate a coming-out party on my 18th birthday. Eventually, I dated,
fell in love, and got my heart brohappy ken. Throughout all these, I
also dreamt of the same things most girls wanted: to find the love of
my life, get married, and start a family of my own.I do feel a
tinge of envy when I see dear friends walk down their dream aisles, in
their dream dresses, towards their dream guys. The inggit, however,
lasts for merely a few seconds. During the next moment, I think: “Oh
my! They’re seriously getting married now? Why so soon?”Plan BDon’t
get me wrong—I’m extremely brohappy for my friends who’ve decided to
tie the knot when they did. But during each wedding ceremony, I quietly
wished that the couple did the math and carefully considered the costs
of the wedding, the house, the life together, and the kids. Foremost, I
fervently wished that before they promised forever, my dear friends had
learned to be initially happy by themselves, before attempting to be
happy with someone else. Now, my personal plan is no longer
bound by age pegs or “marry” musts. Instead, it involves having enough
time to build a career, rake up a good amount of savings, and, more
importantly, do all the things I like doing by myself—all before I
settle down with someone else. The Power of One With
my new plan in action, I now get to make decisions for myself by
myself. I get to buy solo tickets to concerts, go out with friends
without paalam, invest on gadgets without thinking of saving up for
anniv gifts, go on impromptu backpacking trips locally and abroad, and
spend time with people I wouldn’t have spent that much time with had I
been with someone. Today, I feel that there is no room for
self-pity about my single status. In fact, it lets me be flexible and
allows me to appreciate things differently. With this independent kind
of financial and emotional perspective, I get to immerse myself in
whatever mystery or adventure I wish to experience—carte blanche. While
waiting for Mr. Right to come along, I will keep sending my best wishes
to coupled-up friends as I enjoy my sensationally sizzling, single
life. Although I don’t know when it’ll happen, I know that one day,
someone will sweep me off my feet and whisk me away with a promise of a
happy-every-after. I also know that by that time, I’ll be able to
confidently say, “Yes, I am ready to get married now. Take me!”-Venus-

wow i love it! you're definitely right girl, same way as i do. Go girl, keep rocking!

great confession my dear sister Faye. actually life as we are always saying is a matter of choice and at the same time a destiny. if you are destined to find your someone earlier, well enjoy it! now if you are destined to stay single until your age and my age enjoy being single and be lucky. and most importantly it is your choice that matters whether you accept the life that you have for you, to enjoy it or not! don't you worry i just wanna say i'm one of you! the only difference is my longing for those moments you mentioned are now starting to bother me! anyway just enjoy being young and single.live life to the fullest and it is always our happiness and satisfaction that matters! Godbless us all!muah!
