Settling Down? Bit Overrated Don't You Think

Several of my friends are getting to the stage in their life where they want to settle down. I hate to be the one voice in the crowd shouting "BUT THEY CAN'T TAKE OUR FREEDOM" But if not me then who will. Sometimes I sound like your typical cynical divorcee but that's where I am. I got married young and with that I got divorced young. I am 24 and am divorced. Some say that has aged me and they are probably right. But I have been given a second chance at my dreams and so I'm taking it. I want to live life to its fullest leave no experience untried. Call me crazy but I'm not ready to be tied down again. Talking the other day with a friend she made the comment that her left hand was feeling naked. My reply was this "i had the ring, the sailor husband, and the big beautiful wedding. then the ring became a shackle, the sailor a stranger, and the wedding a memory." For me getting married young was a bit overrated. The dream wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Marriage was a lot harder than I could ever have imagined. So I guess I'll settle for being the voice in the crowd shouting reality. I'll be content with getting the marvelous chance to dare to dream again.
