I was at an event the other
night, which was similar in execution to a South Indian wedding. So we were
talking about weddings and such. Not a terribly unusual topic. One of the girls
with me asked if I had any plans of marriage. I said I’d like to eventually be
married, but I don’t have plans, and she told me the reason for that is
probably because I’m never home long enough to be in a relationship. I told her
that was my Grama’s advice too, and she acted as though it was sort of a done deal,
and I’d be heading home as soon as I finish the job so that I could sit and
wait for my Prince charming.
Bull.
Like that’s gonna happen…
I explained to her that if I
have to go and sit in one place for an extended period of time in order to give
the guy of my dreams time to find me, I’m not interested. If God doesn’t bring
someone into my life while I’m doing the things he’s told me to do, I guess I’m
meant to stay single. Sitting in one place to wait for someone doesn’t sound
like great advice if you want that person to be your travel buddy. And I’m not
interested in a guy who would be sitting around either.
I get a lot of advice about
relationships. Both from people I know, and from people I don’t know. I think
the best of it came from my Mom. And possibly Buddha… neither of us bothered to
look up the quote…
