Like every normal girl, I was excited abt marriage right from my childhood days. I never thought beyond the time tht I would spend happily with my prince charming. But today when I am married, I realize tht marriage is not all roses. It’s not just abt being with ur beloved nd having a gala time. There is so much more to it. It comes with its own share of responsibilities, duties, sacrifices nd compromises.
I can’t wake up anytime I want to.
I am expected to be up nd ready before everyone else in the family.
I can’t laze around in my pajamas throughout the day.
I am expected to be presentable every time.
I can’t just go out anytime I want to.
I am expected to be sensitive to the needs of the family.
I just can’t hit the bed anytime I want to.
I am expected to be active nd around the family.
I can’t expect to be treated like a princess but am supposed to take care of everyone else in the family.
And then I think to myself, ‘why did I get married at all ??’ I was happier with you, mom. Sometimes I think of coming back to you nd getting pampered again. I want to come home to my favourite food cooked by you every evening after a nice outing with friends. I want to sleep on ur laps like I have no worry in this world. But then I suddenly realize, had you not got married nd made such sacrifices in ur life, I wouldn’t have had so many wonderful memories to hang on to. And suddenly, the purpose of all this becomes clear- to return the same comfort, peace nd happiness to my new family tht I got from you.
And I m sure tht as time would pass, I would start loving this life equally as you do. Thank you mom for all the sacrifices nd compromises you made. They give me the strength to do the same.
Love you so Much .. :* <3
