With all the engagements... the marriages... and the children... I'm just feeling like I'm behind the game. OR like the others are trying to get too far ahead.
With people pairing off for life, it leaves the rest of us asking "why is everyone getting married already!" And then leads to the awkward declaration of the obvious, "I'm not married..." "Neither am I..." as suddenly you ponder your compatibility with those "left."
Disturbing, really. That's why I wonder how many of my friends have joined the commitment "frenzy," as I often refer to it.
I have many, MANY lists of reasons why I am thankful to be single. For example:
1. Chick flick marathons with ice cream if I want to, with no one to protest
2. Open future plans--- JERUSALEM!!!
3. Time to kick school into high gear and pour my heart into the girls in my youth group
4. Sitting on a bench in the park alone, watching people for as long as I want.
5. Reign over my finances.
6. Hmm well I mentioned ice cream already...
That's enough of a sample for you.
In summation, I know this is supposed to be the "best time of my life..." and most of it is... but a large part of it is weird, awkward, and I'm headed into uncharted waters.
