{February 25, 2008}   response to; marriage is not on the agenda

Unfortunately, some people just can’t rap the simple notion that not every body wants to be married around their tiny little closed minded brains. They always assume there is some kind of fear/commitment phobia/ childhood trauma/ some-kind of psychobabble associated with this lifestyle preference, as if its a disability or an illness of some kind. People have been socialized, especially by Hollywood (and sometimes Bollywood), that you have to find ‘Mr. or Miss Perfect‘ or ‘Right’?(whatever his/her name is),’ get married, have babies, and live happily ever after. And if you don’t want to get married then you must be a ‘whore’ looking for an excuse to fuck around (but hey for those who get off on that I’m not judging you). Well, life is not a movie, you can’t pause it, rewind, replay, or fast-forward, that why we just all have to be true to ourselves. Stop trying to please people who care more about forcing their lifestyle choices on you than your well-being and happiness, they’re probably just trying to live vicariously through your life because they made shit-pits of their own lives.

I certainly don’t want to get married and its not because i think its ’scary’ or that I’m waiting for ‘Mr. Right’, none of that. I’ve just always known since i was a little girl that i had a different calling in life and i wanted to be single. Not every little girl dreams of ‘white weddings, flowers and brides maids or plays pretend weddings with Ken and Barbie…some of us have different dreams and that’s just fine. We are such diverse human beings in such a diverse world and unless you live under a rock, think the earth is flat or see the world in black and white you should be able to see that diversity is just the beauty of it all. Society has to learn to except it one way or the other because its always been here and it ain’t going anywhere, ever!
