Its Monday and I got “That’ question.
Well its another Monday and the weather outside matches the dread in the office. Regardless my life has been great and has lately only been improving . My raise + Obama’s awesome Fed tax deduction became an instant $100 extra in my paycheck. Needless to say this balances out with my brand new car insurance @ $200/month. I am not complaining though as things seem to get increasingly worse as far as the economy is concerned.
For example me and Blue Eyes (the boyfriend) went to see X-Men’s Wolverine yesterday. Fun movie btw although its coming from a completely biased person. X-men is my all time favorite comic book series. Anyway we went to an 8:30 showing and to my shock I was amazed on how dead the theatre was. No really I mean the weekend was horrible nothing but rain so what else could people possibly be doing. Then it hit me.. between 2 movie tickets 1 popcorn and 2 medium sized drinks we had spent close to $40.00. Its a shame when people work so hard and they cant even enjoy a movie. Instead you’re using that $40.00 as a minimum payment to keep creditors at bay.
Moving from talk of the all mighty dollar as it gets tiring very fast, Blue eyes finally asked me ‘the question’ on Saturday. No no nothing of the marriage kind but something in my opinion just a serious. He mentioned that at the end of August his uncle would have a vacant apartment available for rent. I stood quiet. I knew what was coming next.
” Would you wanna come with me?” he asked ever so quietly.
Now considering a form of flattery @ 1 am iwent ahead and nodded my head quickly burrying my face into his chest. Do I want to make that comittment? I have some time to sort it out. I’m very much in love with him, as he is a contributing factor in my recent happiness I just don’t know If I can give up my solidarity or then begin to feel pressured to do the other thing..you know:
I mean I’m still 24 I shouldn’t feel pressured for anything other than living your life how you see fit. I’d like to know though. How do you go from being commended for not getting married early or having kids to “Is that chick ever going to get married?” I even have my parents telling me that I’d probably want to be married before I move in with anyone. Yuck. I just don’t want to feel confined. As much as I love people..especially the boyfriend, I enjoy my solidarity maybe a little more at the time.
I need to figure it out.
