Well, something this past year, guess what it was, marriage. I doubt if there was a month this year when one or two people that I know did not get married. It wouldn't have hit me that much if most of them were females, but then they happen to be males, about 6 male friends of mine got married this year, not to talk of those that I know but we aren't close.
Most times, when I see their invitations or post on Whatsapp I would just be wondering if I'm the only one who hasn't gotten things figured out yet, it's not as if I'm not happy for them, believe me I'm very happy for them, but when most of your friends are getting married and you happen to be one of the few who isn't even ready for it yet, am sure you know that feeling, one would just feel behind.
I was discussing with one just last week and he was telling me, "you won't understand, you know ya not married yet." Omo, I feel like ๐คฆ, even though it was just a joke, but then....when am I getting married too ๐. I even posted and asked them if they are now dashing out ladies, cause I can't help it wonder about how fast they are getting married. I know females get married early, but what's with this males. They would feel their status with pictures of rings, pre-wedding pictures, their honeymoon pictures and all. And I can't help but wonder if it is that I'm not serious, or I'm too lazy, or maybe I dont just feel ready for it.
Amongst the many weddings this year was my brother's own. Well, big man finally tied the knot with his pretty damsel. Well, I can't deny the fact that he's made not just me proud but all of us... another thing is he's now free from all of these, "when will you get married, when will you bring her..." And all the various talks from both family and friends. Well, the focus is now on my only elder brother who happens to be single and I ๐คจ.
Well, despite all, I'm glad it still reminds me that life moves on, people are getting more serious, people are getting engaged and are finding happiness in themselves. I know one day it will be my turn too, I attended my friends weddings and I attended my brothers own too, and one thing I keep reminding myself is to keep my hopes alive that I will experience the same joy some day too.
It's alright to feel marriage fever, I've felt it too. The fact that I'm even someone who loves to marry early makes it a little bit more feverish considering the fact that I'm still here unmarried ๐. But then, it's just best to not let it worry me, wait for my time, celebrate whoever is next and be genuinely happy for them. Hopefully, mine will happen in its own time.
Seasons greetings To Y'all ๐
