If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living. Gail Sheehy
So that moment of change is finally here. The D-day is approaching really fast. And in just 10 days I will no longer be single. To be honest, I am not really getting cold feet or the fear of unknown. Maybe, you don’t if your bride is your best friend and you know her for nearly eight years. But it would be a lie, if I say I won’t miss anything about my single lifestyle. So here are the 5 things that I will miss the most.
- Late night whatever: I am a night owl. I sleep late, wake up late. Though my new office timing forced me to be a early riser, I still sleep late and compensate sleep on weekends.:) But my fiancee being an early to bed kind of person, I don’t think, I will be allowed to stay up late, unless, I want my ass kicked. So there goes late night coffee, card games, counter strike or just plain old F.R.I.E.N.D.S. marathon.
- Being a slob: T shirts, shorts, newspaper, laptops, snacks, books, pack of cards, holy grail, may be even a horcrux if you are lucky (or Harry Potter), can be found on my bed. And that is a fun. Everyday is like a treasure hunt. Finding your watch just in time for office gives a sense of achievement and boosts your ego. Though wildly popular in our apartment and an interest shared by my roommates, unfortunately, this habit of being slob won’t be entertained after married.
- Eating whatever, whenever: No more biriyani, pizza, pasta meals whenever I want or that nutty brownie at 1.30 am. Apparently they are not good for my health(come on, most of the tasty things aren’t!!).
- Not explaining my expenditure to anyone. After I am married, I won’t have anything called my money. It will be ‘our’ money. So each and every purchase will have to be discussed and decided mutually. My bank balance will not be at the mercy of my whims anymore. Well…at least my wallet will be happy.
- Avoiding Gym: When was the last time I went to a gym or did any substantial workout… Wow! It has been a week!! No wait!! A month… Nope close to a year now. But I have to say good bye to those lazy fun days. After a few days, I will be kicked out of bed every morning! Run, Run!!
Anyway, It’s time to accept the change, time to grow, time to live. 🙂
