Save The Date

So I decided to exercise my faith through actions, for long I have heard  of other people testifying how they went ahead to actualize their dreams as if they were and how eventually they did just fall in place. A friend planned a wedding, tried on gowns and even wrote the guest list and yes , she did eventually get married , 3 years now and counting.

Call it boredom after all I was snowed in on February 15^th I decided why not speak as if it were, so on one of my social media platforms an app called WhatsApp, I made a status update, “ I said Yes” and sealed it up with a hashtag #Growing  Old Together and of course  to make this believable went ahead and even put a picture  my pretty finger with some bling .And bang just like that the congratulatory messages started flowing in , almost everyone in my contact list had  something to say about my new apparent upcoming  nuptials. What had started as a slow Sunday quickly rolled on with me giggling to myself and replying mainly with a standard, “ Amen , exercising my faith”. At the end though as I reflected on how it had all gone down, I made 2 conclusions, social media has taken over the 21^st century, much as an App like WhatsApp does not have newsfeeds and unless you are really digging there is nothing in your face, people do pay attention to people’s status updates, otherwise how do you explain the people who had not as much as said a hello for months coming out of hibernation just to say a quick congratulatory message.

2. I have outlived my welcome on the open market and almost everyone wants me sold to just anyone, after all no one asked who the lucky guy. Whereas before given my upbringing if you as much as found someone out of the expected circle of must have’s you had to tread carefully and make sure the person’s other traits sold them as a fit , I feel like now as long as it is male and breathes people will sign the deal.

Problem is am not any nearer than where I started unless if you count me confessing saying yes to a non-existent person, exercising faith after all, maybe next I should get the courage to go try on some dresses, not a bad idea as who doesn’t want to see how pretty they look in nice dresses. Faith I read somewhere is seeing  light with your heart when all your eyes is see is darkness, So maybe I should stretch my faith and ask people to Save the Date, now that would be something.
