Had a chat tonight with a very good longtime friend from home. FD Boy.. you may remember him from previous posts. Anyway we’re both getting busier with life and have way less time to chat.. which is actually ok because I need to be more focused on what’s in front of me and less on what’s ‘over there’. Anyway today he told me that he’s been ring shopping and planning a wedding for a years time from now.
It was really strange.
I am genuinely happy for him but at the same time.. he is one of the ONLY people from home who understands me and doesn’t make me feel weird for not being on the same path as everyone else. Actually, he’s traveled, moved all over and living in a pretty cool place now so he doesn’t fit the usual mold but you know what I mean. It’s nice that he found what he wants and he’s getting his life in order but it’s just a matter of looking around and seeing that there are very few people in my club now. It’s kind of lonely now.
And how does that make me feel? You ask… Well I don’t know. I really don’t know.
Oh honey, I’m totally in that club with you. Totally.
Is one’s life not in order because they’re not married? It would be a terrible thing to miss out on these fabulous days because one was convinced their life didn’t start until after they were married.
I understand what you’re saying and I didn’t mean to come across that way.. I just mean he’s sorting himself out.. has been a bit of a “playboy” in the past.. blah blah
If one’s life is not in order because they aren’t married… I’m in big trouble!
