And thus the night began:
The playbill is your only key to a hint for the show that will bestow upon you. When I open it for a peek before the show begins there are a series of stats, percentages, and character mock-ups. The key players are put into light, so that we may understand the show a little better...
This playbill, my playbill reads of many clinical situations and statistics. These two stand out the most.
- 51% of marriages end in divorce.
- 100% of marriages require sacrifice and compromise to be successful.
I'm from the south. The southern ideal is to get married, settle down and have a family. I, am no southern bell- much to my mothers dismay, I might add. I can't tell you how many times my mom has hinted, or straight up asked me when I was going to get married already.
There is so much pressure to accomplish these goals in my family, and I- Kindra Starr McHenry do not see myself ever living any aspect of my life in a conventional manner. I've been there, done that- got the tee-shirt. (No really I have a tee-shirt...) and I have no interest in ever going back to that place, because it JUST WASN'T ME.
I was having a long discussion about all this with my best friend earlier tonight and I came to an epic realization: I have no desire to ever get married, or even be in a conventional relationship.
on that note, I will write more tomorrow. :)
