This life is so good to be True

It’s good to have a path of your own rather than falling into the trap of playing by the book.

Oh, how boring it is to follow the sequence—school, college, job, love, marriage, kids.


I’m glad my naïve years are over. I didn’t become a young, innocent bride filled with hopeful dreams.

I’m glad I’m not pregnant or raising babies—because I’m still a baby at heart.

I love babies, yes. But this journey? It’s designed differently, specially—for me.


Let me be. Let me enjoy the moment.


I’m incredibly grateful to have a partner who doesn’t "provide for me" in the conventional way.

That motivates me to work, to build an individual life, and find joy in my own growth.


My world doesn’t revolve around a husband or children.

I’m falling in love with independence.


Sure, there are days I crave that “normal” life—

someone to take care of everything while I just coast.

But truthfully?


It’s thrilling to go on a trip with your partner—

to experience romance and care, without labels or legal bindings.

There’s something so precious about someone choosing monogamy—not out of obligation, but out of love.


I cherish the thought of our next destination—

Where will we go?

How will we unwind?

Those lazy, free days where it’s just us,

and love still feels alive, fresh, and real.


Even sharing a home with siblings feels like extended childhood—

laughing, playing, spontaneous movie nights, mini escapes.


Life feels better when lived at your own pace.


And you know why I’m writing this?

Because I just heard my 8-month-older cousin might get married next year.

And I imagined going to her wedding—dressed to kill, laughing with cousins, clicking pics.

No fuss over ironing a husband’s shirt, polishing his shoes, or feeding a crying baby.


My partner already knows how to do his work and mine—

Talk about a win-win.


The whole point of this?

This independence is liberating.

This non-legally bound romance is exciting.


And when I tie the knot—if ever—I’ll know I truly lived.

That I had the time of my life before marriage.

And I’ll be sure that the man I’m marrying stayed through thick and thin, without any legal bindings.

That he chose to be there, and I chose him—through everything.

That’s enough proof to marry.
