The big MC - marriage and career

It's been almost eons since I last posted. What with two other blogs to manage (a book review blog and a social angst blog), it can be quite tricky managing this emo blog, as I name it. It's a new year with an unpredictable path ahead of me, awaiting to be trodden with some trepidation. Marilyn Monroe has the seven year itch; I seem to have a one year itch. Can't seem to stay long in any place for more than year.

But, I've always believed that three's the charm. The third career path that I'm about to embark on will be the one that I intend to stay on for long-term. Need to rein in that restless, capricious nature of mine.

This year is the year when we plan to tie the big knot. Somewhat expected, he is feeling a fair amount of anxiety and wonders if he is truly prepared for an eternal marriage. It wasn't till lately when I have begun to experience more than a little anxiety myself; I've also questioned myself if I can hold steadfast to one partner for the rest of my life, which presumably will be decades and decades of time. I get bored extremely easily.

But I have stuck with him through the worst heartbreak one could possibly experience, and still look forward to holding his hands and kissing him. Will those things remain only inchoate shreds of memory?
