Committed (II)

In her book, Elizabeth Gilbert mentioned that at the end of the day, a marriage is between two people. You do it because you want to do it. Maybe sometimes, you have to do it, as in her case. But most of the time, it’s purely a choice. 

It still is a choice. But it’s become a choice that I’m willing to make. What’s changed? I have. I want that feeling of ownership. I want to be legally recognized. I want an ever after that is concrete and a goddamned pain in the ass to break. Of course, a reason to have a pretty ring on my finger doesn’t hurt lol. 

No, it has not suddenly become a necessity. No, it has not suddenly appeared to be the natural cycle of my life. And no, I still don’t want the fussy wedding that comes attached with it. 

But I do want it. To be married. To him. I do.
