There has been a run on engagements, weddings and conceptions lately. It’s a little unsettling. Of course I share in my friends’ happiness however it manifests itself. Lately, it just seems like the thing to do.
Last week someone told me she thinks I will be next in the wedding announcement category. Last night someone else said to me that I will probably never get married, as I’m never satisfied with anything in my life. She said that as if it was a bad thing.
Yeah, that’s just silly. You can’t ever be completely satisfied with everything. If you do, then why bother to continue? If you have everything you want, and are completely satisfied, what do you have to look forward to?
i personally wouldn’t worry about what anyone thinks. just do what makes you happy. what happens happens. yeah. 🙂
I think that decisions are much more complicated than either of you make it out to be. No, I hope I’m never *completely* satisfied, but it’ll be nice to be satisfied *enough* at one point. And if people always did whatever makes them happy, well, when something makes one person happy while making someone else incredibly unhappy, there are consequences when you make that decision.
So, simplifying the world sounds great, but it really doesn’t work that way in real life.
But, I can tell you that I’m not worried about what anyone thinks about my opinion.
For me it’s been babies. Everyone has been having babies this month. No really! Coworkers, friends, relatives. Babies everywhere. All of them boys, too, come to think of it. I know what you mean about such decisions being difficult. I would agree. I would also think, though, that your first responsibility is to you. Not that you should disregard other people’s feelings, of course, that’s not what I mean at ALL. But if making someone else happy makes you UNhappy, you probably need to revisit that situation. Of course, my thoughts on that are partially responsible for my current singleness. So you may or may not want to listen to me. 😉 I think I’m better off this way, though, at least for now.
