First comes love, then comes..
Unperfect.
If you had asked me 3 years ago if any of my friends would be married by the time we’re all 23 I would have said that you are crazy. My friend (former best friend I guess..we haven’t really spoken in about 6 months) Shawn is getting married this year to a girl, Christie, who as a very sweet girl but only 19 years old. There’s a part of me that’s extremely happy for him; happy he’s found someone he wants to spend the rest of his life with however I’m a little worried since they’ve only been dating for about 7 months.(I guess that only matters to some people. The length is a moot point I guess if you’ve known each other for years) He’s known her for years..she’s a family friend and a good friend to his younger sister. I don’t know if I’m just sounding calloused or genuinely concerned.
On another side I’m extremely jealous. Although I’m overtly rational and believe I’m too young to be married to anyone (especially since divorce rates are so high) however sometimes I wish that someone felt that strongly about me. She has made him a better person though. And even though our friendship has been strained I’m happy for him.
Maybe my time will come although I’m too selfish to want to tolerate someone forever..one day I’ll get to that point. I hope.
