The girl who waited.

I'm finally starting to see all the glitches on LJ that everyone has been talking about. Kind of annoying, but I won't be jumping ship just yet. Come on LJ! Pull through! My titles don't show on comment pages and my comments keep getting cut off...


ANYWAY!!

(Meeting for the first time through a mutual friend. Eating Nabe.)
Amazingly delicious!

And I wish I had some right now. I don't know why I did it, but I ate McDonalds for the first time in almost three years, last night. Now, I feel sick to my stomach. Looks like its miso and water for today. 

So, I found out my aunt is getting married the other day. For my family, this is the wedding of the century. My aunt and her boyfriend have been dating for 30 years. I get impatient waiting even three months I guess it's really just a formality since that man is practically already family. 
In any case, I'm really happy for them and I even feel feel admiration towards my aunt. I'm sure she's thought of marriage plenty of times in those 30 years, but not once did they fight over it. I guess that's why they're still together. Instead of worrying about such things, they just enjoyed life. 

Then again, what would they argue about? Obviously neither of them had a fear of commitment since they stuck around each other for so long.... hm,

I know I can't wait 30 years. But, I'd like to me more like my aunt...
In the sense that I have nothing but patience for the man I love. 

LJ, Tell me your thoughts on love and commitment! How important is it to you?

It seems that my aunts situation is a pretty rare one, from what everyone is saying, which makes me want to better understand the situation. Unfortunately, I don't think that'll ever happen. It's not my romance to get involved in.

Honestly, I suppose I'm a little envious of your situation. You have your own life. Even though you'd like to have a relationship, you have so many things going on that keep you busy and entertained. That would be impossible for me. This is the first time I've been single in a long time, (Though, I still find myself saying 'My boyfriend, my boyfriend. Even though he's gone, he's technically not an ex..) and it kills me. It would be nice to be similar to you, satisfied enough with my life to be a lone for a bit.

I didn't think there would be anybody out there who envies me.
I've really never seen it from your point of view. I guess because it's just normal for me to be all alone and concerning that being able to do whatever I want.
On the other hand that leads to a completely different problem: as I have so many choices and interestes I have no clue what I REALLY wanna do!
And if you have an important someone close to you then they often can you show your future path as they see things about you that you yourself cannot.

And now you've offered a point of view that I've never even considered. I guess it's true what they say: The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!

Hopefully, we'll both get what we want =)
