As females, we spend a lot of our growing up years wondering,
“Who will we marry? How many kids will we have?”
And as adults, we still wonder: “Who will we marry? Where will we meet him?
How old will I be? What will my new last name be?”
But the funny thing is,
we don’t even know what marriage is.
Basically, all we know is that we fall in love a boy,
move in with a boy, and raise children with a boy.
But what happens in the in-between?!
We’re not taught how to love a boy, how to live with a boy,
or how to parent children,
whom we are solely responsible for in shapely their entire world, beliefs, and morals,
so they can grow up and eventually fall in love,
get married, and raise children.
Is this what this is?
A cycle of generations, do what they do and your life will be guaranteed happiness?
But what if we don’t want to follow the cycle?
Why does society gasp at the notion of a person thinking on their own,
on their own terms, and doing what they want to do to achieve happiness?
Each person is different.
I don’t believe there is a greater universal truth than we.are.all.different.
Therefore, how is it possible that each person is expected
to follow the same cycle of events?
How could we possibly expect everyone to find fulfillment and joy in the same events?
If we as humans understand the fundamental truth that each person is different,
why cant we embrace all paths?
Q: Why cant we embrace two people that love each other
but don’t feel the need to sign a marriage license?
Q: Why cant we embrace two people that love each other but choose not to bear children?
Q: Why cant we embrace two people that love each other but are of the same sex?
A: Society’s standards and expectations.
because posts are so much better with songs:
This is only the tip of the iceberg my friends.
The subject of “society” is at the forefront of my mind these days…..
