Married

I’ve always wondered how people make it all the way in a relationship. So far as to get married, I mean. It’s always perplexed and astonished me at how people up say “It’s you. I want to be with you. Forever.” I mean how do they do it? With all the crazy people and all the crazy things how do these two people find each other out of the crowd get past all the self and society imposed bullshit and just BE and be together? At times it seems like a miracle. But lately, lately I’m wondering if it’s not a miracle. Maybe it’s just that they are tired. Worn out, beat down, done. Maybe they just look at each other and say “You’ll do.” Maybe it has nothing to do with love or passion or even contentment but a resolution to just give up and settle down. Take themselves out of the frying pan, the fire, hell the whole damn kitchen. Maybe you can’t have it both. Maybe you have to choose. Love or Marriage. Consistently unsure, jealous torment peppered with absolute bliss or valued, stable monotony with something less inspired?
