so dramatic

I am so dramatic about my little problems. We all are, really. I was talking with 2 of my coworkers today. Maybe they were feeling chatty, or maybe people are opening up more around me now that I'm leaving, but this one guy, a soft-spoken Chinese accountant, told me about his arranged marriage and how terrible it is to be tied into that sort of thing. No choices, not even about WHEN you get married. He was jealous of my freedom to travel the world, run away at any moment. Actually, almost everyone I talk to here seems a little envious of my freedom. They talk of family and career. They talk a lot. I wonder how difficult it is to break from that mode of thought. I could see myself quite enjoying being tied town (hehehe) someday, but I would never want it to become a joy consuming burden.

Pretty DAMN lucky.
