Take It SLOW

So I was with my parents one day, and we went to visit my uncle. We hadn't seen him in a while, though he stays around the corner from us, SMH, so we thought it would be nice to pay him a visit. When we got over there, they started talking about what was going on in life and other jazz. One thing that came up was the fact that my cousin and her husband are no longer together. I was so shocked to here this information. See my cousin was dating this guy like her senior year of high school. They were together A LOT. He was a really good guy, and he was pretty cool. Then things got serious, because he asked her to marry him. They were 19. Sure they were young, but they seemed like a good match. After they got married, they got this nice house and even had a baby. Things looked GOOD. I mean...I was sure they would've stayed together longer than THIS. Now they're 21, separated, and have a one year old son. When I was talking about it with my mom, she was basically telling me how most of the women in our family have had had marriage issues. They got married TOO YOUNG and ended up divorcing. My mom was the only girl on her side that hasn't been divorced. *My aunt, my mom's sister hasn't been either, but she's also never been married.* I just don't want that kind of life for myself. I mean...I know we don't really know how our life is going to turn out, but I don't want to rush things. A few months back I was having a MID mid-life crisis, but now I see that there is no rush. I mean...I'm 19!!! I should be enjoying life and not stressing about having a family, getting a great job, and all those other things. I mean sure, I'm still concerned about my future, but not to the point that I'm going CRAZY about it. Sure I'm SINGLE, but that's okay...NOW. El.oh.el. When that time comes, it will come. Things just take time. We just have to be patient enough so that we can allow the GREAT things to happen in our lives. When we start to rush things, everything gets screwed up, and we are left feeling UGH. And that's not a good feeling. El.oh.el. I know. Everyone who is in my life now are the ones who are important to me. I'm sure with time I will find that extra SPECIAL person that I want to be in my life FOREVER, but as of right now I'm just being me. I hangout with my friends, I'm in school, and trying to enjoy life one day at a time. It's better this way...FOR ME. I'm happy with how my life is going, and I wouldn't change a thing. :-) El.oh.el.

Well, until next time.....
