I told myself after some calculations this winter, that the ideal age to get attached is between 26 to 28. Date for 2 to 3 years, and then get married. Ideally starting married life between 28 to 30. Hence I started reading a few christian books on dating, trying to convince myself that I'm not ready for it, and that nothing is gonna happen for the next few years. That, at least, was the 5 year plan, which many businesses adopt, and stick to quite often. I'm glad to report that I was on track till I realised that love isn't math. It can't be calculated, or planned for. It can however be controlled, manipulated, and to a certain extent premeditated.
Why am I suddenly talking about this? During a friend's recent birthday party, we were bombarding him with questions about marriage, the usual young adult parties, and he, much to our delight, succumbed, and started to leak out the dirt. "Vision 2012", as we call it, was a very well calculated, and planned vision, with the only problem that by the time vision 2012 was to be in action, the very person that was necessary to put it into place would be gone!! Or so we believe.
Sad to say, my dear friend isn't alone in the tough predicament of whether Vision 2012 should be reconsidered to achieve completion at an earlier date. I too have been tossed into the eternal abyss of reconsideration, not by circumstance, nor by environment, but by a particular someone. Of course I'm filled with all certainty that nothing will materialise of this, due to lack of opportunities, my unfortunate bad timing, and my recent annoying behaviour, which sent me on a rampage earning the OCF convention an extra $180 in cash and credit, that would have otherwise been spent on something else.
Therefore, till I'm relieved of this what is to be unbearable torture, war has begun on 4 fronts, with law, econs, finance, and accounting challenging me with tests and assignments, so people, this is a warning to be prepared for my onslaught of blog posts, which you should have noticed by now is on a daily basis, to relief me of my stress both from love and from war.
