Dreams for the Future

There are crazy moments when you feel the world is yours, when the surge of potential is just dying to burst through you and drown you in its idealism. And there are moments when you just lie there, not really thinking, not really doing anything. Just being.

Anyway, I think I'm getting a little bit crazy.

There are still a million things that I want to do. I could enumerate them, but it would just look like some to-do list. And they don't really concern married life, so there. Anyway, I don't have some witty post today. I just have ... mixed emotions. 27 days more to go till the biggest party I'll ever throw. Hmm, maybe it's weird to describe it as a party. I could of course describe it as the start of the end of my life, but to do that would make me a very likely candidate for runaway bridehood. And it's not really accurate either. My personal philosophy in life is, when in doubt, don't. Well, maybe that's not a really accurate description of my philosophy, but suffice it to say that I have forced myself to look at my true feelings, and I have discovered that at this time, no I am not really in doubt, but just more sad for all the things that will change and that won't ever be the same. But I'm much better today than I was last week, thank you very much.

It's gonna be the start of a lot of personal changes. To change is to let go...of a lot of things and situations that have more or less defined who I am. I am not afraid of change, but this has the sense of permanency that both scares (did I make the right decision? walang divorce sa pilipinas!) and secures (aha, di ka na makakatakas! wala ka nang choice kung hindi ipagluto ako!). In any case, I think that those who have made the decision to share their lives with someone else forever are truly brave and courageous souls. A toast then, to all the courageous people who have taken the plunge.


All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. ~Anatole France

Amen.
