i've long observed that lots of singles seem to turn marriage into some "achievement" or accomplishment that is made to mean something that represents far more than it should ever be. not unlike an idol, hoisted upon this gilded platform, such as a milestone for which one's life can "begin", and begin to fulfill all those plans and dreams they've been saving for after this "achievement".
it deeply saddens me when i read posts from people (usually women) lamenting about their biological clocks, and how they are struggling with the bitter disappointment that their lives aren't "on track" for what they imagined for themselves. it's like they're stuck and they can't see what they have or what could come from another path or timeline.
on the other hand, i can certainly relate to becoming jaded and allowing your pessimism to permeate your attitude and actions, especially after you find yourself living a life that you hadn't expected for yourself.
i came across this simple article that i thought was worth sharing. it addresses two extremes of a similar problem.
two mistakes singles make
are you guilty of either of these mistakes?
do you have any thoughts about how one overcomes such pitfalls?
