Young Love.

I absolutely can not wait to get married.
To have my own house and to wake up each morning beside someone and to kiss that someone goodnight and good morning.

A lot of people say that getting married young is stupid, and I feel in this day and age you get frowned upon in you even think about getting married at the age of  20, let alone if you're engaged by then! "Is it because you're pregnant?" Is one thing someone I know got asked. "No." She replied, I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years and we love each other and want to spend the rest of our lives together". People are so quick to judge.
When I talk to some of my friends about things like marrying young, or we hear of other people who get engaged at a young age and what not, they immediately get judged because they're seen as "throwing away their life". Because apparently at 20/21 you should go and travel, and you should be having a ton of boyfriends so you can find the right one to marry, when the time comes of course.






Of course, I'm not saying that you have to get married at a young age. Or that you shouldn't go traveling.
What I'm trying to say is that people shouldn't judge other people so harshly because of something they are choosing to do. Back in the old days wasn't it morally acceptable to get married at 19 and have your first kid by the age of 22?
Also, I know that one in three marriages end in divorce, and a lot of people blame young love. But I don't think you should blame people getting married at a young age, in fact if you should 'blame' anyone, blame society, blame celebrities for using marriage as a gimmick, I think it's sad that there are no real role models for marriage anymore.
 I am 19 and I would happily get married at the age of 21, if I could afford a wedding by then, of course that probably won't happen, but who knows!
Pretty much I just can't wait to belong to someone, especially that one person who brings me so much joy and happiness. I don't need to go out and "see the other options out there", when I have a perfectly great one right in front of me.


It's late, well not really..11PM, and I really don't know why I'm writing/written this... But whatever.

That's me.
