The Marriage Bug is Here

yup, it has arrived. The marriage bug has arrived!! At 27 years old, people are getting married all around me... its like a pandemic....literally because its happening with friends ALL OVER THE WORLD!! =p

ok ok, maybe i'm getting a wee bit over-exaggerating...but it has just made me think about marriage. Why does one get married? When do u know its the right time? At 27, is my biological clock ticking away like a time bomb? OR should i just relax, sit back and enjoy the life of a "kinda" single girl. Does being single mean that I've fallen behind the bandwagon?? Am i missing something that all those married ppl are "supposedly" enjoying?

Haha... though those questions play in my head I do believe that there is so much more to life than just settling down. I could name dozens of things which i have always wanted to do, yet have not had the opportunity to...either bcos of no money (heck there are bills to be paid) and/or no time (since all I've been doing is climbing the corporate ladder)....

hmmmm...I would like to go bungee jumping, parachuting, explore Italy, overcome my fear of the sea, join something like "the amazing race"...learn how to paint (i mean really on an easel and not painting a wall ;p) ...get my own place, making it home...

Do we women limit ourselves, or is it society that has govern us to just naturally think that we must get married and built a family in order for our lives to be complete?

It has taken a few years just to get myself in a financial state which i can comfortably say that I can go and start doing some of the things that I wish to, provided I have the time...which I am trying to make for now... So why now when I have the opportunity would i want to tie myself down to another "time" consumer of making a marriage work?

Aiiiiiiii.....but at the end of the day, getting married is something that I would want to do eventually. Building a family with the love of your life seems like something dat I wouldn't want to miss out on.

I believe that many get married because it seems like such a romantic thing to do. I've seen couples who get married thinking that life would go on like the way it does when ur single, that nothing changes and you can go right on ahead and do everything that you've been wanting to do. But damn, that's not true at all...things do change, a marriage takes up ALOT of your time...and I haven't even talked about having a family yet... I would hate to end up being married and regretting later on that I've not been able to accomplish or enjoy the things that I've always been wanting to do...

Yes, the marriage bug.
