Formspring Me

Alright, so Formspring may be my newest addiction...too bad no one reads my ramblings enough to want to ask me a question. Then today, BAM! right there in my inbox, "Someone asked you a question"...really? Ok, so this person didn't have the guts to actually tell me who they were but it was still an interesting question for me, the comments I made were made in High School and forced me to reflect on the changes I've made since being in high school. I encourage everyone to go to http://www.formspring.me/FishieBride and ask a question-I promise to answer all of them!

Hello Sam.... I remember a certain someone who called marriage is for losers and monogamy is stupid.... Now getting married and settling down... MMMM I think I was right all along...



I don't think I used those exact words but ok, if that's how you remember it. As humans, we are naturally and constantly changing and evolving. I’m not the same person I was when I made those comments-I'm guessing you and I haven't interacted since high school otherwise you'd know that. Marriage is all about what you make it-I don't intend to have the same kind of lifeless boring marriage my parents or grandparents had- if you allow your relationship to become stagnant and lifeless then yes, marriage is "for losers" but if you allow your marriage to continue to grow and flourish, making time for your relationship and by not getting bogged down by the day to day monotony but making sure that on a daily basis your partner knows that you are still “in love” with them. If you knew me at all, you’d know that I am not one who enjoys the same old same old, day in and day out. Life is what you make it, if you make it stale and boring then your relationships will be stale and boring. But, if you find a way to inject your normal day-to-day existence with something unexpected and enjoyable then that’s what your relationship will be, unexpected and enjoyable. I’ve had two years of unexpected and enjoyable with someone who understands me and motivates me to be more than I ever thought I could be; and if losing my mother taught me anything it’s that life is short and if I am able to get even 1 more day of unexpected and enjoyable with this person it’s all worthwhile.
