Marriage for me …

Mum: Vu, do you have a girlfriend?
Me: Nope
Mum: What is wrong with you?  Are you gay or something?

That would be your typical conversation with anyone in my family.  There’s always two things that I’ll always get asked and they are 1. Why are you so tall?  2. Are you married?  Now in regards to question 1 it’s easy to answer and normally I’ll have my sarcastic response ready which is “I drink too much kangaroo milk ha ha”.  Of course that’ll always get a laugh with the elders.  I am such a comedian sometimes it amazes me. 

I mean come on why ask the obvious when in turn you’re only going to get the sarcastic answer which won’t even make sense.  It amazes still to this day that no matter what, people will always ask why am I so tall? 

Now with the second question, I wish it was easy but it’s not.  It’s not like I can just walk around and voila find myself a wife.  That’ll only end up in disaster and surely a lot of drama to follow.  I was married once already but that was not exactly from the heart.  More to do with one good turn deserves another, what can I say I believe in kharma …

Right now I don’t feel that I am prepared for marriage, simply because I’m not ready.   It’s more of a maturity issue  to be honest, if you take an example of my lifestyle, it spells single man all over.  From playing sports, hanging out with friends and just doing whatever I want to without any care in the world.

Believe it or not one of my goals in life is to settle down, and raise a family with whoever I may end up with.  Just that it will be in my own time and place.  A friend of mine once talked about this subject with me.  He described as this; it’s like you’re running along a path, and the girl that you want just doesn’t stumble along the way.    It’s more like, she comes running along beside you, and running towards the same destination. 

I thought that was deep, then again he, himself is a deep and spiritual person.  But I never looked at things that way until now.  So all I can do is just run my path and wait for my running partner.
