"...the expression on your face, told me, baby, you might have, some advice to give, on how to be, insensitive"--jann arden
i apologize for this post in advance, for the risk of sounding too "carrie bradshaw" (that may not be a bad thing) but i get bored, and creative at the same time sometimes..anyways, after a conversation with an old friend last night, and conversing about a certain person with which we both were friends with who most recently got married and how she was treated, and after my run-in with a high school acquaintance who treated me similarly...i started to think, amist my sweating (ok, i was sick) and thoughts of beginning a new jewelry line ;) ...do girls (because yes, you are a GIRL when you're 22 who doesn't know any better, and who's best meal is a grilled cheese or perhaps a box of macaroni and cheese...i, myself, am a victim of this non-cooking ability) who get married right out of college feel like they are better than us "single-tons"? ..or is the "single-tons with boyfriend who aren't married quite yet" that get the shaft?
to these questions, i don't think it really matters who you are, but do you get more pity when you are lacking a significant other and talking to a newly married friend/acquaintance...or when you are very into your relationship with your significant other, but the "question" just hasn't popped up quite yet? this i wondered, since my friend, has been with her man for 3 years and they're still riding the "honeymoon" wave quite grandly and myself, with mine for 15 months and still happily prancing along...why do we get pitied on? you, my friend, are the one who got engaged so quickly...and isn't it true, the younger you are, the more likely you are to end in divorce, i know that's a sucky statistic, and i am also guilty of hoping to be married before 25, but...wouldn't it be more likely when your relationship pre-marriage was less than a year? hmmm, something to think about...especially, those baylor folks who hope/hoped to be gazing at their left ring finger watching the sparkles dance about by springtime....;)
anyways, this is by no means to criticize those girls who ARE engaged right now and are planning their lovely weddings, but more of a thought to those who are MARRIED and rub it in the faces of their single friends and who think they are better than them...why?? is it like a club or something? we'll get married someday, and we'll be part of your "sorority" one day too, but let me just say now (as i did in an earlier post), when i get married, i vow to not treat my singleton friends as rudely as i or fellow friends have been treated by married folks...
leave me comments as to what you may think of this or if i'm just talking out of my butt, you can let me know that too ;)
