He's just everything I ever wanted in a man and I don't think I'd be able to handle being with anyone else. Also I don't think they could find a man to take me without paying a huge sum of money. I'm definitely a tough one. I think my fiance is probably the only person who can deal with me. I'm super annoying, opinionated, and naggy, not to mention really gross sometimes. I'm a whole lotta mess and not just any guy can handle that XD. I was always very picky, and wouldn't go out with a guy unless I could see myself married to him. Glad it was right on the first try =] I’m so happy my parents aren’t the ones who picked my fiance.

It's usually when I start really thinking about the decisions that need to be made in my life and I realize that there are so many uncertainties. I have yet to get sick from it, but I know the feeling... I get that feeling in my chest too.

It IS hard to date, and the choices ARE what makes it so hard. I think I'd be willing to trade in for an Indian wife lifestyle any day now :) Lol, I hear ya girl, right now I’m 27 and still dating miserably as I was in my early 20’s, your Indian friend was right!

Two major reasons.. 1) When I was in sixth grade, yes, SIXTH grade (11 years old) I have a phase where for a few months I threw up almost every morning. I was so anxious and nervous about going to school! I was (and still am) a perfectionist and I had a horrible teacher who put so much pressure on me. I'd wake up and be nauseous, throw up, go to school and be "okay"..until the next morning. Eventually, my 12th bday came around and I just decided to stop living like that. My 12th bday I went to school w/o getting sick first, and I haven't started that routine up again...thank god. Anyway, I can totally relate to being so overwhelmed it affects you like that. 2) I agree with the "problems of privilege." I like having a goal. I like working toward something and giving my all to it. However, I feel like I have too many options! In my case it's a career thing. I'm 24 and I have no idea what I want to do. That may not be true...I have a few things I'm considering, but I can NOT decide which path to take. It's overwhelming and I realize how tense/stressed I am..and I haven't even switched careers yet! It's just the decisions that are in the back of my mind. All. The. Time. (Stole that from Wendy ;-)). Anyway, I'm right there with ya girl. Just know you're not the only one!

I am having trouble dealing with being at a point in my life where i'm completely independent and realizing that i can't do everything that i want to do career-wise and i'm out of what i like to call my "chill pills". damn having my parents arrange my marriage sounds better and better every day, especially if it's with a guy who wouldn't mind financing my new york city apartment and studio. ah, dreams. your first paragraph sounds exactly like my week.
