I was talking to my mother and sister during dinner the other day about our respective days and we were discussing a recent wedding that was the talk of the town. And for somewhat reason during that topic it struck me that I am an year older than my mum was when she got married.
My mother was 22 and my father was 24 when they married. I guess a few years ago most people married young and i honestly don’t think that i would have been ready to make such an commitment.I mean don’t get me wrong there is absolutely nothing wrong with been married young,My parents for one are still in their forties which makes them “young parents” to have girls of 23 and 18. and i also feel it helps them connect more to us and maybe even understand our generation a little more.
They are also not restrictive,they are quite cool about everything.The most important fact it that they trust us and my sister and i can talk about anything and everything with them.
So anyway coming back to the topic as i had my moment of realization during our dinnertime conversation something else struck me. Is there really someone out there for each and everyone of us? I mean 57% of myself believes that (it used to be 100%) but after so long i struggle to hold on to that belief. I mean if there is where is he? do i already know him? have i met him? have i caught a glimpse of him? what is he doing at this exact moment?.
