Accidentally stumbled upon a piece of
musing on a blog, and got that very same feeling that you get when someone echoes your deeply-felt thoughts. Strangely, the post is titled “To be or not to be”!
“…Is it just me, or have I suddenly been caught up in a time frame whereby every single person around me is suddenly getting married? And the thing I noticed the most today, from the conversation is the notion of getting married just for the sake of getting married. Do people just want the most general things in life, security, a home and financial satisfaction and is the notion of an ideal love just slipping away from us. Its like, a notion which seemed so ideal once upon a time, but nowadays I think wealth and feeling safe override it. The whole 'having someone', it doesn't really matter who, but someone is just so apparent almost everywhere I look.
"What about the whole, taking time and effort to build something worthy, and satisfying in the long run. Someone you want to run under a waterfall with, someone you want to climb up a mountain with and share the view at the top, that someone you want to write a letter to on a rainy gloomy day, because just knowing, just knowing that someone will read it, makes that day that little less gloomy, and that little bit better. I think my standards in life are way too high, I think I need to glance around me, and try to fit in with what I see better. For real. Your young, you have your whole life to love, and even when you find it, who knows if its real..until you let it free and maybe just maybe it comes back to you...or can you really picture growing old with someone. Sitting out there in your back garden, on your deck chairs watching the green grass with that little cup of tea, a nice book and talking about how quickly your grandchildren are growing up.”
