Pretty sure I'm on the verge of an emotional meltdown. This is extremely foreign to a person like me, but even I'm not completely guarded enough from succumbing to emotions. This has been coming since the beginning of the year...and now with a mixture of recent events and particular news I'm finally very near my breaking point I think, or maybe I just underestimate myself.
Good news is - I'll get through it.
Bad news is - I accidentally revealed a snippet of this problem to my mother earlier and now I know tonight she'll sit me down and try to get to the bottom of what's wrong. ...Really? Like, we're not talking 'one' thing here, we're talking a hot mess of emotions that have built up over the last 11 years of my life. And yes, it's probably been that long since I had a real heart-to-heart talk with my mother.
In short: My life is hell today. ...But after I drink my afternoon coffee and snuggle my cats things will look brighter.
I'm tired of making friends, then they disappear, make new friends, they disappear... a continuous cycle which goes on while I remain. I'm thinking soon I won't ever really bother with it and use my time into other things. Aside from a few, overall it is just wasting my time.

Saw Paper Towns last night. Made me miss being a teenager. I wish I had a friend like Margo when I was a teen to take me out of my comfort zone.
What? If people are nice the minister gets 50 euro but most of the time they get nothing.I understand the reasoning for nearly every church these days requiring membership for a couple to marry in that church, but overall I find it ridiculous and something that doesn't work to enable a Christian couple desiring (unsurprisingly) a church wedding but inables them rather. I think that's wrong. I also think it's wrong that many churches charge a huge fee as well. ...That's one complaint I have with my own church, as much as I love my church, charging people $2,000 to get married in it is extreme.

That is quite expensive. Perhaps look around for some cheaper options. Some churches don't charge as much if anything (and might overlook not being a member). And outdoor weddings are a nice option as well. My friend got a out door wedding location for under $50 i believe. But she knew someone who was able to get it through work connections.I understand the reasoning for nearly every church these days requiring membership for a couple to marry in that church, but overall I find it ridiculous and something that doesn't work to enable a Christian couple desiring (unsurprisingly) a church wedding but inables them rather.

I have similar complaints about churches and membership; also that they're membership requirements are unbiblical.I understand the reasoning for nearly every church these days requiring membership for a couple to marry in that church, but overall I find it ridiculous and something that doesn't work to enable a Christian couple desiring (unsurprisingly) a church wedding but inables them rather.

I've had it happen with somebody I invested a lot into and thought she'd be around for a long time.I'm tired of making friends, then they disappear, make new friends, they disappear... a continuous cycle which goes on while I remain. I'm thinking soon I won't ever really bother with it and use my time into other things. Aside from a few, overall it is just wasting my time.

There's a lot of things about weddings that are shocking when you look at prices. But some things can be worked around to save money.
My sisters dress was a little over $100 and it was beautiful.
My best friends wedding she made her bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets after we picked wildflowers the day before and bought a couple more at the local grocery store.
For my sister's table centerpiece we found and picked wild bamboo and bought some little flowers.
I guess it's good to look at all the options before deciding. And deciding where to spend money and where not too.
Personally I still like idea of eloping/small wedding... But if I do ever get married I know my friends and family would want to celebrate with me. So I likely wont have an elope wedding.
I have similar complaints about churches and membership; also that they're membership requirements are unbiblical.
I've never heard of a church requiring membership to use as a marriage venue though. That just rubs me the wrong way for some reason.
