i've got a sore throat.

my cousin,Nameerah,a pious 14 year old grl changed my perspective on how i view things recently.she studies in a madrasah in Johannesburg and is now on holiday.she's sleeping over at my place for a couple of days to catch up on old times.thus we had grly time watching movies and gossiped till the wee of the morning and one of the stuff we talked about was arranged marriage.

being a fond believer in the four letter word, i was always against of the thought of my parents choosing my future spouse for me.whenever me and my friends would talked about this, i would always lashed out and go against the whole idea of this.the thought of it made me go hijejibes.

so when Nameerah told stories about some of her friends back at school tying the knot using this method,i was all ears. surprisingly, she told me they last longer than love marriages.and that made me go thinking that the idea of knowing someone after getting married is just beautiful.

going out with someone now might be fun.you would always have that someone to turn to,to cry on bla bla bla.but just think about the things you do with that person,the sins you have committed and will commit.and when you finally settle in,you'd know head to tail about that person,thus where's the fun in that right?or what if u dont settle in with that person.you would always carry that extra guilt baggage.

im not saying i oppose the idea of love marriages.and im not saying i dont want boyfriend(s):p.im saying take a minute to ponder on what i have always go against.the idea of getting hitched with someone u barely know isn't soo bad, u know.

so i made a promise to myself.by the time i reach 27 years old and ready to settle in.but still haven't found the 'one'.i would let my parents do the honors and be cupid.


there ive said it.fiuh.
