C'est La Vie

This time last year I was on cloud nine and could easily say 'Alhumdulilah I've found the right person'. Okay, so he was a bit rough around the edges - granted. But he had something about him which I guess every other girl he has considered also saw. I can't say now that I'm indifferent, as we're all human and we've all been made equal to another. Daily lives may differ slightly, but fundamently we're all after a goal.

For most the ultimate goal is a Supa Dupa Hereafter (thats for those who believe in the afterlife). But for now - "the Here", our lives are quite similarly mapped (according to the culture in which we live ofcourse). I.e. The UK - Schooling, possibly College, maybe Uni, Career and Marriage.

Throughout our lives we meet people of all walks of life who all leave a footprint, or pin prick to our hearts - whether we take the time to get to know them and share experiences, or if they happened to glance up to smile whilst walking past. And just when you think you've met the pick of the bunch, someone comes along and quite literally steals your heart. With the promise of forever, and togetherness, in the journey of what we call 'life' - companionship is what we all search for whether we're 5 years of age running around in the playground, we look out for someone to run with... or 25 years of age running around our responsibilities, we look for someone to share our responsibilities with.

The topic of the present - or should I say my present seems to be marriage (per all my recent blogs). Given the numerous conversations with my family, friends and people who generally enquire. The frequency of these discussions seem to be more then 3 times per week now, and each time I follow the discussion it covers the following grounds:

• Why I'm not married yet
• Who I've met their faults
• The bad decisions I've made (according to them) i.e. let certain prospectives go
• My character

This has given me the chance to open up to a couple of people and request their advice on the current situation.
