I am 30 years old now. I have been alone for a long time; almost all my life. There is an inner voice calling on me to call it quits with bachelorhood, and do the midway step in life, which is: Get married!
Supporting "voices" could also be heard, such as the voice of my eldest maternal uncle who said to me the other day: "You know that it was your late mother's wish to see you married, and it is also mine, and i truly hope to see you married very soon."
This is also (sort of) echoed by the fact that the vast majority of my work colleagues got married while working with our "workplace", and one of our bosses is even thinking of having a board that shows wedding &/or babies photos of our colleagues who tied the notch during the past 4 years of our work (by the way, today marks exactly 4 years, waw!).
During the long years that passed in my life, i tried to find my match, but things were not that easy. She needs to be intelligent. Not a rocket scientist or anything, but someone who would understand life. Perhaps "nerd" is the word to describe her. She could be from anywhere, from any religion, short or tall (but not taller than 173 cm!). She needs to be someone that i would love and respect her mind as much or even more than other lovable features she may have. She needs to be independent from the angel/devil influence of friends and family, who would love to watch your life as if it was a soap-opera, but a soap-opera for them to write and for them to manipulate the fate of its characters and their characteristics!
She definitely doesn't need to be a "bombshell". The problem with bombshells is that they shell lots of bombs! Thus meaning that their history would be quite controversial if not problematic. In addition to that, i never assess the women by the way they look. It is a factor, but it is not the primary one. Perhaps, what if men who assess women this way, were forced to walk a mile in those women's shoes; i mean, do you guys really like being disregarded just because you don't look like Tom Cruise, or Tom Hanks, or because you don't have buns of steel like Arnold or Van Damme?! Give me a break!!
It is seriously, a heart-warming thought, to even start thinking about the idea that your dream of finding your lifetime partner could be within reach. And many questions leap into your mind like fine Arab horses that started running on the edge of Wilderness:
What would you say to her?
How would you show her that you care about her?
How would you love her?
What cute nicknames would you give her?
The stories you two would share?
The jokes you would probably create?
The warmth and endearment?
And how would you two would stay awake at summer nights waiting for a star to fall?
And how would i would make her a nice soup if she has a cold, and try my best to kiss the cold away, or show solidarity by catching that cold with her!
Little dreams, that are part of a bigger dream; a dream that is definitely worth chasing. Imagine what would have happened if Martin Luther King, Jr. would have done if he looked at the status quo back then?!
"I have a dream, but i'm black, so nobody's gonna let me go anywhere!"
And what would have Gandhi did if he didn't go after his dream?!
"I am slim enough and i won't fast because i need my three meals!"
No.
Great dreams need great sacrifices, and i will be willing to go on the honorable path which leads to fulfilling my dreams, despite the fact that this path may be long and difficult, but nothing in life is easy, and conquering easy things never tastes quite well as conquering difficult things would.
I would give my all to make "the one" happy.
Who knows?!
May be we're getting close?! Real close?!
Stay tuned for future details...
