Fear of the unknown

There was one time my dear friend F asked me how would I feel if I were to marry someone I don't really know. I told her, she shouldn't be asking me. My perspective on this is quite different from the rest of the world. She wanted to hear my answer still.

"It doesn't really matter to me".

It used to be. I used to worry about the possibility of marrying someone I barely knew. How are we supposed to live with a stranger? Weird, right. Now, though, I simply don't care.

I told F matter-of-factly:

"You can be married to your long-time boyfriend/girlfriend but ended up getting a divorce anyway". 

Being married is an entirely different story from being a couple, I was told by a friend. However since I'm not married (yet), I don't think I am qualified to talk more on this. Hehe.

S, a friend of mine was once in the same dilemma. She was at a crossroad: two guys asked for her hand at the same time. She had known guy A for years, on the other hand she had just met B and never even had a proper conversation with him.

For most, this is a no-brainer, they told her she should go with A. Why take the risk of exploring unknown terrains?

The old me would say the same thing. The new me, though, can only come up with the cliché, "Just follow what your heart says."

To elaborate on that: First, ask for His guidance (because He knows best) and then make the decision. The last part is the most difficult though - to have faith. To trust. Tawakal.

This can be a lengthy post, but I think I better sleep now. Tomorrow I have to drive alone for a 4-hr journey.

Dr Love mode off.
