A few days ago, I attended my neighbor's wedding. He's only 19 years old, and his wife just graduated from high school. What made me smile to myself was that this guy used to like me. He wasn't a boyfriend, he never asked me out either — but I knew it from the way he hinted and from what everyone said.
His wedding that day made me reflect for a long time, thinking, "Wow, it feels so fast, doesn't it?" I don't mean to be sarcastic or intrusive. It's just… honestly, at this age, I often feel confused about my life. Seeing other people confident and brave enough to get married young, I find myself asking, "If I were in their position, would I be ready?"
I don't want to say that getting married young is wrong, because everyone has their own reasons. Some people are already sure of themselves, have their blessings, and have plans — that's perfectly fine. But personally, I'm still afraid to rush into it.
For me, marriage isn't just about mutual love, nor is it about being able to throw a festive event. It's about being ready to face the responsibilities and new things that come with a new status. You have to be mentally prepared, your heart mature, and your finances strong.
That's why, when I see other people getting married young, I sometimes feel pressured. Not because I'm jealous, but because I realize I'm still not ready. And that's okay, right? We all have our own paths.
I believe everyone has their own time. Some people move quickly, others take it slow. And I hope that anyone who marries young—including my neighbor—can always be happy and strong enough to face whatever comes their way.
Me? I'm still here. I don't know when I'll change my status. I still want to learn many things, pursue unfinished dreams, and prepare my heart, mind, and savings. Because I want it, when it's my turn, I'll be truly ready — not because I'm forced to, or because I'm following others, but because I really want to and am able to.
