The family who lives in the apartment below me are arguing. Always arguing. Besides wondering why the hell a couple would raise their two young children in a college town's apartment complex, I also wonder what will happen to me.
You know someone. You invest years into your relationship. They turn. It's happened to me, and it will probably happen again.
Marriage seems like a cheap piece of paper that is used to achieve some level of pseudo life-security.
Recently I've decided that I will more than likely never wed. Not because I don't believe that the opportunity wouldn't arise, but more or less due to the unknown formula of the ever so unpredictable future. Seconds change lives... I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to accept a permanent situation with someone who may have just the same volatile future as me.
