My friends are getting engaged. And what's more- that means they're getting married. That. Is. Scary. SCARY! It makes me feel old and young all at the same time. Old because- married?! Seriously?! Now?! Heavens no! And young because- they must be a lot more mature than I am if they seriously think they're ready for all that responsibility. Commitment. Stuff. YIKES. Me = terrified.
And p.s. - Promise rings? No. Never. I think they're pretty much the most pointless thing. If some guy wants to marry me- he should just wait until he's ready to actually get married and buy an engagement ring. I don't think you should need a ring to know that he's seriously committed to a relationship with you and I don't want to know that he's promising to engage himself to me. How anticlimatic to the whole ordeal. That's just silly and I don't know where this promise ring fad came from, but I don't understand it. And if someone wants to explain it to me so that I wouldn't be so opposed and offended by the whole concept, I'd appreciate it. I think promise rings would be much better off if they had stuck with the meaning of waiting to have sex until marraige- that kind of promise to yourself, to God, and to your future spouse. A promise that actually means something and has some value. And maybe a point? But that is NOT what I think they mean now. And I really, really would appreciate hearing someone who things oppositely.
Goodness. I can totally see parts of Seussical as an anthem for my growth. I love musicals and how simply they speak life. Maybe I stretch things a little too far?
