Haze has started again. I have no idea whether last year's was worst or this year's but last year seemed to affect me more. Probably because I worked at factory site and the air there was already bad. Nevertheless, I never really could tell the difference in the psi, or maybe I'm just not observant of the air around me.

I saw a post on Facebook the other day by Humans of Singapore, about this woman who was asked for one advise and the advise she gave was "Don't get married early."

I mean.. why not?

No doubt, marrying does not mean with any Tom, Dick or Harry. You need to marry someone you trust, someone who is committed. Marry for the right reasons, marry when you know you're ready to be a spouse. Afterall, marriage is a responsibility.

I hate it when people tell you that you should enjoy life first, that you're young and if get married early you lose your freedom. Freedom in my opinion, is an excuse since marriage does not necessarily mean being tied down. Marrying young means you have someone to experience life with and grow with. You have a travel partner, a game partner, a gym partner. Someone who you can have fun with, be silly with and do stupid things with.

Then there are others who say you're not ready financially. Financial is a big problem even in late marriages. If you're marrying someone who is not responsible and has no means of supporting you financially then probably you married the wrong person. Or if you marry a spendthrift who only think of themselves and their needs. Financial is the effort of both. You can't stay home and shake legs while your spouse makes every effort to find money and you expect a big house, expensive clothes and dine out everyday. That itself is suicide. Work for what you want. Even better, work together and achieve that dream house you've both been wanting.

... Just my two cents.

Experiencing it first hand, marriage is beautiful.
You have someone who supports your decisions, someone who can tell you what you're doing wrong and someone who can soften your fall. A company when you're lonely, a friend when you're in need, and a partner when you're in trouble. You have you in another being. One who completes you and fits that missing part of you.

Still, marriage will come at the right time. I'm lucky I had mine at a young age.

On a less serious note, 23 is not really young is it?
