september is HUGE.


September yields a great burden of memories, celebrations, re-inventions, and love!

I never had any real intentions to get married young or give birth... ever. I still recoil at the idea of giving up my maiden name, sometimes I leave my wedding ring at home because I hate the nasty "whose diamond is bigger?" symbolism, and I keep my own bank account, thank you very much. On top of that, I never enjoyed baby-sitting, I shuddered always to think of the whole giving birth scenario, and I have been spotting ugly babies as often as not for my whole life. Oddly enough, I woke up a few months ago and realized I had everything I never wanted. It was shocking and not entirely comfortable for several weeks. But the longer I live it, the easier it is to accept that the good and the necessary come in all sizes and shapes except the ones you expect. Expectations are nonsense and I gave them up. And I have to say, this doesn't suck.
