During the Thanksgiving holiday, I traveled with my circle of relatives to Soho in New York City, where I involved in food, best friends from school, back-to-back afternoon work, and shopping. soothe my inner East Coast soul, the strangest thing about my birthday present for my sister and me: zapping bracelets that match CatBird’s soldering iron.
For those who do not know what zapped bracelets are, they are bracelets whose closure is welded so as not to be able to remove them, although it is a slightly expensive gift – with costs ranging from $ 98 to $ 334 according to the bracelet – The component of the charm of the bracelet is not the fact that it is a special gift of link between my sister and me, but, more commonly because we have lived in other countries and opposite coasts for five years, we like to take advantage of each and every opportunity. approach in small touches.
But this strange delight with jewelry made me think of another concept I was suffering: marriage. I perceive what marriage is, the fact that it is not for everyone, and it is a legal bond, but the concept has seemed strange to me. If dating your spouse still exists in the same state of deep concern and love without the legal aspect, why involve the government in dating?
Is it to turn out some kind of love? To refine some gifts from a registry or just to step above all others; A higher point of love to show how global you care so much and that you are legally bound to them?
I need to be transparent so as not to hate the concept of marriage. I’ve also shamefully selected the engagement and wedding ring of my dreams: intricate hands holding the gemstones created through Anthony Lent. a little less difficult and everyone flatters me as I walk down the hall (I’m still sweating with the concept of my first dance, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there).
But, in all honesty, I think marriage has become a huge scary shadow for some because of the way society has designed it. Don’t they react the same way to marriage? Even last Saturday on Friendsgiving, we talked about who of our ultimate school elegance we were going to marry, however, the query was formulated as:
“Okay, if you were to marry someone in our class, who would it be?And that I said get married. How to get married.
I think much of this strange stigma and intense tension is similar to the story of marriage and its diverse cultural significance to other communities.
For example, wedding traditions in the United States are different from Japanese, just as Japanese traditions are different from those in India. At the same time, marriage is an exclusive luxury; not everyone can marry where they are, and many other people can’t marry the other people they need to be with. Of course, with this concept of legal and infinite legal responsibility that accompanies classical interpretations of marriage, it’s no wonder that other people have begun to push me away from it.
And don’t even kick me out at weddings that don’t stick to their full course. To this day, I don’t understand why it’s a shame to be divorced or to be a single parent, especially if you’re not the cause of the demise of marriage. When other people get a price ticket for breaking the law, it doesn’t matter. But when other people by consensus break their legal marriage, suddenly it is silence and an issue to avoid.
So, through extension, wouldn’t a ring necessarily be a self-welded bracelet, not a trap to chain to or something even an action of choice?
I think my concepts about marriage will clearly replace over time. I haven’t experienced being in love yet, and currently, in my era of completely loving myself, I’ve discovered wonderful comfort and happiness by following Sue Sylvester’s “Glee” trail to get married.
But until I come to a greater conclusion that comes from a position other than the brain of an 18-year-old, I will do so in peace with my friends, my family, and my zapping bracelet.
Happy Holidays.
Stay there.
