It's Been 5 Years...

Marriage was one of my fulfilling dreams. I never thought that I will still be able to meet someone compatible. My past relationships was a whirlwind. It was just everywhere.

Because of that, by the age of 20, I was conditioning myself not to hurry or to accept whatever fate may bring. And I did. I really don't want to put a bracket on what age should I get married. In life, its either you become a wife with a career, a single person with a career, a mother and wife with a career and a housewife. Beyond these, I guess you have different plan for yourself.

I enjoyed my time and finally met the right person. Its best to say, My Ideal Man. He is the key to where and who I am now. I thank God for this blessing. Right there and then, I knew about my life's purpose.

And today, marked our 5th as partners in life. The funny part, we almost forgot about it. No plans brewed. I would usually be planning ahead.

Things are not as always perfect. I had to give way, because my husband needs to work the whole week with the big bosses.

Reality knocked: It is our bread and butter. I truly understand his absence on this special day. I gave him full support as his partner for 5 years. I don't wanna get angry or feel disappointed about something that is adjustable. Like celebrations.

Early this year, I posted about a goal: Learning to detach. Staying away from the usual. I/ We have a simpler life now.

We still have lessons to learn and things to discover. 5 years is too short to tell that were good at it (marriage). It is a journey full of surprises, laughter, love and hardships.
