'been told
by too many people
on too many ocassions
with too many suggestions
and too many concerned faces
that it's such a sad thing,
being unmarried at my age,
at this day and age.
i was reminded of this again today
by a kid
barely seventeen
on his report card day
with the word 'troublemaker'
stamped right on his forehead,
and he said
and i quote
"you should get married. it's so... best."
he said it like he's been married once
or more.
so i cocked an eyebrow
and asked,
"how would you know?
what makes you so sure?"
he smiled and repeated his line.
his friend disagreed.
i disagreed.
and then it dawned on me
that all of our opinions don't matter.
all of us have just been observers
or pre-determined or unwilling participants
no first-hand experience.
just piggybacking on what other people went through.
so what do we know?
