Random Thought

One of my coworker's daughter is turning 18 today. 18 years old, how long ago was that? Do I wish I could turn back time and be 18 again? Oh God no! I don't ever want to be that silly, naive, and unwise ever again. I am not a sentimental person. I throw old stuff out without thinking twice. Every time I look back, I always say to myself, 'Thank God it's over'.

Everyone who has seen my baby picture from last post says, 'What has happened to you Vivi. You looked so happy there.' Hahaha :D

People who claim to be too busy to read usually don't read anyways. People who claim to never read Harry Potter usually don't ready anyways.

Recently I have heard couple of cases concerning relocation for relationship. I just have to post this one here (Washington Post column:Tell Me About It by Carolyn Hax)

Hi, Carolyn:

I'm in a loving relationship with a wonderful guy. We are both in our 20s and will both be coming up on big moves for school and work in the next couple of years. We talk of the future, and we want to be together . . . but at what point is it okay to start making plans when you don't have a ring on your finger

Washington


By "ring on your finger," you mean when you barter your free will for a trinket?

He doesn't marry you, you marry each other. I'm loath to turn this into a male-female issue, but rings on fingers go straight there without my help. In a decade of advising, here is a question no man has ever sent me: "Should I wait till we're engaged before I relocate for her?"

It is your life. It was your life before, it is your life now, it will be your life when you do or don't get married. Nobody is telling you otherwise -- except you. He's either committed to you, or he isn't. You're either committed to him, or you're not. You either trust your judgment, or you don't. Stop waiting for someone else's permission to chart the course of your life. Look around. People live like this every day. I'm guessing your boyfriend is one of them.
