Six years ago, around this time I was hired for this job I am stuck to. It was great till about 5.5 years into it, then it went down hill. I couldn’t believe last year at this time that I was working at the place for 5 years. I was going insane and thought, “wow, I lasted this long?” Then my ex-boss read my blog post and took me out to celebrate me lasting 5 years. I think he just wanted me to not suffer anymore and stay for a bit longer.
I was thinking about my life, will I ever get married and last this long? I don’t think I can. Jeez. 6 years of anything is too much. I have this constant need for change. Last year 5 years of something was too much.. WAY too much. If something you have been doing for so long doesn’t give you the satisfaction to excel, then really, it becomes boring, unworthy, and lame. Life becomes meaningless cause of it.
Oh yah, I do suffer from ADHD and I have no patience. I always want to get things done quickly and move on to new things. I am hyper active!

Also I think I always need a challenge. Is marriage a challenge? I think it is a challenge to even get married. Can you imagine after marriage. No more challenge.. You got to that point, then you are stuck!

“For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something…almost everything…”

Living together is a challenge. Engagement is a challenge. Wedding planning is a challenge. I can only imagine what marriage will be like.

“Also I think I always need a challenge. Is marriage a challenge? I think it is a challenge to even get married.”
So does that mean you like the idea of marriage? It’s never good to feel stuck, like you’re in limbo. Magazines like Essence always give encouraging advice on how to find your ‘dreamjob’ and that you control your destiny. It’s empowering. Do you think you need a new career or a job that better suits your need of variety and excitement?

How? Marriage is a huge challenge. Even lasting long together is a challenge itself. Keeping the love is also a challenge.

hahaha.. yeah i know exactly what you mean! this is what I was thinking about marriage too.. I get bored easily, this is why we always have to do different things, and go to different places.. and if my hubby is busy then I’d be the one to surprise him.. i don’t mind as long as there is something new and different

Bah. Marriage is overrated, I swear, it’s become like a trend now. If you like someone and want to be with them, then good for you. Why people feel the need to flaunt this I’ll never understand…
You don’t need a ring (or a legally binding contract
) to show that you love someone.
