I went grocery shopping yesterday. I decided the other day that i wanted to make some cookies out of scratch. the thing is i've never done that. so tonight im going to make some cookies. chocolate chip and pecan chocolate chip. we were discussing gingerbread men and cookies at school the other day and ever since then, ive wanted to make some.
i started my internship about a month ago. so far ive taught a lesson and done the intro three times. ive also read a book to the students. it doesnt seem like much but the lesson was kinda hard. some didnt pay attention. ive been learning a lot by observing. i'm enjoying myself, but i still dont know if i want to teach as my career. that doesnt make sense grammatically.
i like living alone. its lonely sometimes but its nice walking around naked or in my underwear whenever i want to.
which brings me to boyfriends and the topic of love. i was talking to someone yesterday about it. someone is getting married and shes 22. i was wondering if it was just me thinking it was a stupid idea to get married at such a young age or was it because ive never really been in love. right now i dont see myself being with anyone forever. ive got other things i want to do by myself before i can give half of everything to some other person. anyway off topic, she said that some people want to get married cuz they want to have children. and i said that is an idiotic thing to think. she said that some people want to get married and have children early cuz the older you get the more problems there are. and i thought thats so dumb. i dont think i can take care of myself much less a child in the coming 10 years. there are a lot of things i need to figure out before i try to support a child.
and then i brought up the idea that weve been set with an idea since we were born that we needed to find someone and get married. especially women. its socially unacceptable to be old and alone. then my friend said well you need to have a family. someone to take care of you. and i said that you can create a family anywhere and that you already have your family you were born into. she said yeah but you need someone to love you. and i was thinking that i can have my family with people i love and love me back. it doesnt necessarily have to be another person to be in love with me. it just makes me upset how people put so much into finding that special someone. when if you look around you have many special someones in your life already. and getting married at 22 is a stupid idea.
thats it for now i have to go. im about to get off work.
