On Marriage...

Inspired by a text/email conversation with my girl @PeachyKween, I decided to briefly blog my two cents on marriage. Of course the original conversation (and probably what follows) will be a book because her and I go IN lol, but here's my snippet:

I think people struggle most with commitment so marriage serves as the perfect challenge, which some still fail. Point is, committed is committed, ring or not, wedding or not, marriage or not. Indeed it is still a beautiful thing to share and celebrate with the people you love...or simply something sacred between the couple and the ordained, but it really just depends on what BOTH individuals want, if anything MORE to express how in love they are. I'm saying all that to say, I don't want to be in a marriage where I feel like I'm the only one who wants it or to plan a wedding that is for ME versus US. You never know, I could end up in a relationship where marriage is not even of the essence because our love surpasses all doubt or provability or whatever people get married for lol. And yes, I've had my thoughts of what my wedding will be like, but ultimately I think the love I have for my husband and that of him for me, will be most telling of our future in love and marriage and how we chose to let the world SEE us.

I don't debate falling in love because I myself cant avoid that, too lovey dovey in love with love lol, however I guess my issue lies more in the compromise it takes to stay there. That's not the kind of love I want. And no, I'm not asking for flawless perfection, I just don't want to feel taxed or drained by what should be bringing me bliss. I don't think this is impossible, and even if it were, I'm a strong believer in not settling and dreaming big, so my love WILL exist! This love/marriage/relationship thing should be easy, its about togetherness, sharing, caring, building, and understanding...none of that should feel like a chore.

My ace @swtcupcake (Kells) is now engaged and I'm so excited for her. Regardless of your personal views on marriage, true love is always a beautiful thing to celebrate. I think her and @speakerboxxx love each other dearly and effortlessly and in that, I hope that remains forever as true love will. I feel like I need to end this with a picture of them lol *logs on fb, searches their pages* there ya go! awww <3
