Chill, u r still fertile :P

Amidst the marriage virus attacking me and my friends 'tis season, I have decided to research about the issue and bring a possitive outcome on us been single or in the middle of a "relationship" ('cuz u know what I mean considering the culture we live in and the men we tend to date, we are far from having a serious concept of that).

Within my research I had found such an enlightening truth: we are always pressuring ourselves on having "company", on when are we getting married and just not enjoying our life. Remember that other entry I wrote: "Your life revolves around your own story, your own adventures". Well, I have found an article in a funky website with these "Sanity Saving Vows" I wanted to share with my few readers. Please, I'd like to note I don't want to seem like trashing tradition but lightening the load on us women, who are spending too much time tied to tabues without allowing ourselves real growth, which in the end will only lead us to our own happiness with a really great somebody or not, in a thousand years or not; but in the mean time...

...I'll love the skin I'm in. :P

"Sanity Saving Vows

I promise not to grade myself based on whether or not I have said I do.

I know that while falling in love is great, it is not as easy as buying the right perfume/cosmetic/weight-loss product, though billions of dollars are spent trying to make me believe it is.

I won't be bummed about not getting invited to the smug married dinner club because I will be out on the town with my new fabulous single friends.

I will stop making lists of male friends with good genetic attributes who could be potential sperm donors because I'm twenty-eight (the writer of the article) and nowhere near tying the knot.

I will relish my complete liberty and my ability to join the circus in New Zealand if I see fit because I don't have to factor someone else into my decision.

I will spend more time doing things that make me feel proud of my independence and competence so that I never “need” a man but I won't beat myself up for wanting one.

When I get really down about being alone, I will remember that the first 120 days of a new relationship are full of lust, excitement, and sweetness and I still have another 120 days to look forward to.

I realize that there are a ton of married women who would kill to be as free and breezy as I am. So for all of them, I am going to live it up and do my best to justify their jealousy.

I won't put up an inspirational poster by my desk or anything, but I will live every day as if it's my last single one."

Lovely! So I hope you girls read this and enjoy it. Don't be offended if you get to lose your independence, time, self-interest before me. I will make sure I love every second of this uncertain journey, I'm just 23 so I still have 5 years before getting as old as that article's writer!

I have tons of people to love right now, I have my girls! ("Vitchess"!!! Yao yao, Represent-ing!) and the crazy MF's who accompany us :P, I have my family, I have my dog!; they have a real relationship with me, a job, a career to get serious with, another job and lots of plans.

As women of this era, we should be focused on using the influence and power we are now given in fixing the wrongs, curing the sick, or just humbly changing the world. There's just so much we can do with our time now, if you don't know what it is, I guess then it's really time to discover these things.

Peace!
