WTF Marriage Crazed Girls

Recently, I've noticed so many girls my age getting engaged. I can name about five off the top of my head, and they are all within a year of my age. Am I missing something? I thought this the time of your time when you figure out who you are and what you want in life. There's no way in hell I would marry anybody on the planet at this point in my life, even if it was the "right guy." We are changing so much at this age. I mean I get that you're "in love" or whatever, but holy mother of god, this is the WORST time to get married. I'm not going to be the same person in 5 years, let alone probably 2 years. The person you are and that you marry at age 19 will not be the same in a very short period of time. I don't know what it is. Is it that they're still in the honeymoon phase of their relationship? Once you exit from that place, it's not all sunshine and daisies anymore.

You know when you were young and you just HAD to have a pet goldfish. Oh my goodness, it's so cute and orange! About a week later you're bored with it, if it hasn't already left you for goldfish heaven which promises of no annoying children tapping the glass. Seriously though, that's what this is like. The hype of marriage gets these girls going like it's some new fashion trend (let it be known that I hate fashion). It's not something you can throw away once you're bored with it. Yeah, you can get a divorce, but the feeling of a failed marriage cannot be a good one. OH but you think it's going to last forever and ever?! Reality check: nothing lasts forever, and the fact that you think this person and yourself are headed in the same direction during these rapidly changing years is just sad.

Yes, some people can do it. What's the statistic on that again? I remember it being pretty damn low. "We're different," is the the stupidest thing I've ever heard. No, you're a human about to make the same mistake as humans in the past have made. History is there for a reason. Anyway even if you do love that person and you think whatever you've got going can last you a lifetime, what's the rush? You have plenty of time to get married in future. The best part about waiting is that if it doesn't work out, you're not deeply committed on a legal level, and if it does, then obviously it's meant to happen that way.

So to all the girls in their very early 20's and below, I hope my telepathic messages reach the logic center of your brains.

Or maybe my facial reaction of this will say enough when you give me the news...

"Individuals who want to believe that there is no fulfillment in love, that true love does not exist, cling to these assumptions because this despair is actually easier to face than the reality that love is a real fact of life but is absent from their lives." - bell hooks
