Either I do a computer fast for an unknown amount of time, or I just force myself to stop feeling so down about marriage and stuff.
I want to get married so friggen badly. It’s KILLING me that I’m not even at the engagement stage yet. Of course, the internet is loaded with wedding and marriage stuff - *cough*Pinterest*cough* - and I just can’t help myself but plan and look. Sometimes friends don’t really help either…. And lately, I’ve caught myself dreaming a lot more, especially considering my boyfriend is coming to get me so I can go back to Alberta, at the end of May Long Weekend. I keep picturing him getting here, and either right after we’ve had our mini-reunion as he got to my parents’ house, or after he takes me for a drive, that he tells me he’s decided he can’t live without me, and proposes. That just turns the faucets on and out come the tears cause I feel it’s still a long ways off.
Of course, it doesn’t help either that we had plans to get engaged after six months of dating at the very least, and most recently the plans changed, I think. So that doesn’t help AT ALL. Cause I still have that in my head.
And, I’m always ALWAYS tired lately, and me + over-tiredness = severe emotional breakdowns. If I was at least getting more sleep, I think I’d cope a bit better, but the darn cats - the oldest one, Dexter, more specifically - keeps attempting to jump up into my window at the earliest hours of the morning. For awhile now, he can’t jump very high, so he CLAWS his way up to the window sill.
I just realized I sound increasingly bitter. I’m exhausted, having slept lightly as usually, and been woken up before six this morning. It’s that drunk/drugged feeling I currently am experiencing…the one that makes your head feel like there’s a ton of water inside. And it gets into your sinuses and it’s not all that fun.
But anyway. I’ve been trying very hard to get over this little ‘obsession’ (I don’t like calling it that because I don’t want to believe it, but I think I actually am obsessed) with marriage. Just because I’ve wanted to find my Intended, get married, and start my life with him since I was seventeen, doesn’t mean I need to go freaking mad, right? Oh dear floor. What is wrong with me?!
