There Are More Doors to Choose

When I reach the age of 25, I will be so proud of being single and having not socially or legally claimed as being owned by or owning someone. I just cannot perceive the idea. When we can have multiple relationships, why do we need to attach to single person only?


I don't think it's a social burden to have opposite-sex partner in life. When we're born alone and will inevitably die alone, then do we need to live legally with one special person like it is a necessity? I'm not saying I will deny a marriage, (although I don't think it's a decisive way out in faithfulness and trust issue) but truly, I'm not planning to have a marriage or two.
I often declare my celibacy and be proud of it in the name of independence and human rights whatsoever. That somehow doesn't mean I will not change my mind.

Again, I think marriage is just for sex legality and for the social matter. When you have some special emotion toward someone, do you think bring her/him in front of the law is the proof of your feeling?Some people find a wedding ring is some kind of beautiful sign of loyalty, devotion, or other. But funnily, I see it as the stamp or label you usually find on the back of cow and goat, to differ their ownership.

Can laws guarantee that one will stay truthful and faithful to the licit partner?
Can laws guarantee that one will be responsible to the licit family?
Can laws guarantee that boredom will never mingle to the marriage?
Can laws guarantee .... ?

It's one's right and choice to see whether marriage will be the future or not.
It is good to have one life-time sex buddy. It is wise also to tag yourself as "MARRIED" to prevent social issue. But one legal deed will lead to another legal responsibility, like legal children to feed, to nurture, and to educate, and also legal partner to keep the dream family up with.
As I wanted to note is, marriage is not the end of one's love story (except in most of fairy tales). Marriage is not also the only way to love or prove your love. Marriage is one of other ways in presenting the very special sincerity, devotion, and affection to one special person.

The crux is whatever it is, be truthful to yourself.
