I wanna get married

Last Saturday, my cousin got married. We all know (even his already-wife, I think) that this is not what he wants right now. I can attest that he is not ready yet, but he wasn't given a choice. His family has decided for him.

This has gotten me into writing. I have actually thought about this a million times but I decided to write about it just now. I don't want to get married because of wrong reasons. I don't want to get married because I got pregnant, nor do I want to get married because I want to get out of our wretched house. I do not want to get married because I hate it when I don't get the privacy I need, or just the mere selfish reason that I don't want my sisters to dig through my closet and wear my clothes whenever they want. I don't want marrying to be my answer, or escape.

Big part of my decision would sure be the financial aspect. Of course, who wants to get married without having a house for your own? Or not enough money to start a family? No one, right? But I think it would not matter much as long as you are ready emotionally and psychologically. I want to get married at the right time, and with the right guy.

But for now, I want to enjoy my single life, and by that I mean, not yet married. I want to enjoy this for as long as I can, so that when I decide to proceed with the next step in my life, there would be no regrets. There would be no turning back.
