| Too Much To Handle |
I really wish I could help Poppy right now, she's feeling so down. Just stuck really. Seriously, her life could be an outline for a soap opera. And I'm the friend on the side who wants to help but hasn't got a clue how.
Things are just building up in her life, and to top it off, lately she's been feeling the need to "settle down". Through certain events, my brother who is her boyfriend was told about this "feeling" and was also told to just "give her a ring". Quite frankly I'm shocked and appalled at the girls who told him to do this. They're Christians and should know better. Marriage isn't just about making someone feel better. I'm younger and I know that. Seriously, wisdom does not come with age. Thankfully, he didn't bow under pressure and give in. He told Poppy that he wasn't ready for marriage. Unfortunately, I think Poppy has taken this the wrong way. Marriage is a huge thing and shouldn't be taken lightly. I think my brother had a lot of courage to say how he felt about it. Poppy feels extremely embarrassed and thinks that 3 years of dating is long enough to realize if you want marriage or not. I don't believe that's the case. It differs from person to person, he's only 21 and that's pretty young to think about it the way she wants him to. I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm sure it works wonderfully for some people, but you can't put that expectation on everyone. That's like expecting everyone to feel ready for sex at the same time. "You've been dating this long, you should of had sex by now". Are you kidding?
It's all a bit complicated to put into words, but I wish I could help in some way. I wish I had the money to move away with her. She wishes she has the money too. Just a change of life. I'd honestly like that too. Start fresh. Where no-one knows me. Where no-one knows us.
I didn't mention it to her, because it wouldn't do any good, but things can only get better right? She's my best friend, and I can only hope I'm there by her side when it does.
