getting married

definitely not.

everyone seems to want me to follow the broken wheel as they did and find myself a wife. I have no problem telling people including my mother that it will never happen.
the wedding day is so important for egyptian women, mothers want to see their sons get married, girls want to get married, mothers want to see their daughters get married to wealthy/prestigious men.. its so boring. they loose weight, they go to the gym, they get excited, they shop and collect, they take extra care of themselves in anticipation of this one day then it all goes to waste as they get fat, realize life goes on after the wedding night and life is not all pink anymore.. its retarded.

there is so much that I could say about this topic because its been brought up lately.. It prompted a very deep and open conversation with my mother late one night.. we sat in her bed room, she smoked her cigarettes and I explained my world view and we both laughed.. I very pleased that I could tell her as much as I did and find her to be accepting.. we talked about sex, love, my living situation, having kids or adopting, etc..

I've had a similar but slightly even more open convo with Dudu (nadia), my mother's best friend.. I had payed her a visit, and we sat in her bedroom and chatted over all sorts of things including my sister and her complicated way of dealing with things... but also my love for men like especially Egyptians.

marriage is such a corrupt bullshit institution, someone is always paying far more, someone is always compromising way more than the other.. its just not fair.
