I believe most people don't see the frailty of the human life. We aren't like our feline friends who claim to have nine lives. No, we have merely our one. People put off doing things because they think to far into the future about the consequences. Like for instance: tattoos. My mother told me to wait before I got mine, because what if I don't want it when I'm thirty? Well, what if? I went ahead and got it because I'm not guaranteed to live til I'm thirty, I'm not guaranteed tomorrow, hell, I'm not even guaranteed to finish this sentence. Something could happen as I sit here writing this and I'd never get to finish it. I'm getting married and my mother wants me to wait 5-10 years. We are in the military so that is very unrealistic. I am thinking more like a year and a half. I know my mother and I rarely see things from the same side, but I, in this instance, see why she wants me to wait. However, it's just another what if. What if you don't like each other two years from now? What if he's different once you REALLY get to know him? What if, What if, what if. STOP with the what if's. I understand the point behind waiting because a marriage is a sacred bond, something you shouldn't do with just anyone, and that's the thing. I'm not doing it with just anyone. I'm doing it with the man I'm supposed to be with. I know it. I want her to see my side, which is really always the argument I have. Why put off til tomorrow what you can do today?
Girls, why wait for him to come to you? You go get what you want, the worst he can say is no. Guys, tell her you love her. I know it's impossible for some guys to tell girls that, but sometimes I think they wait too long. I've seen relationships ruined because of the guy never admitting to loving her until it was too late. That can go both ways but you get the idea.
I am an individual who tries to make the most with what I have today. I don't plan any further into the future than I have to. I try my damnedest to not put anything off. I see that I'm not guaranteed a lifetime.
