It has occurred to me that my previous post might be misinterpreted. It does not mean that I'm in a rush to be married, or am staking my self worth on finding a boy. My point was just to wonder at the decisions that lead us all down our paths in life. At the moment, there's a tension with how one functions as an adult. For me the thought of getting married, as many people I know are beginning to do, is a bit excessive. And I was just wondering whether that has more to do with any sense of my self, or simply the decisions I've made and the life situation in which I've placed myself.
