I've always believed that if someone proposes to me, I would think about, well, everything—the responsibilities, the chores, the sacrifices, the limitations. A lot of people told me that once you get married, you will be restrained from the things you enjoy. Call me gullible, but I also believed them. That is why I was always careful.
But then, when he proposed to me, everything—the chores, the limitations—didn't matter anymore. I guess I forgot to include a very important thing in my factors—love. It seems like if you have that, everything else pales in comparison. My beliefs were all forgotten and there was nothing in my mind but how much I love him. That was when I said yes.
Love really is a powerful thing, isn't it? It erases your brain and forces you to say 'yes.' Ever since that day, I've never regretted doing so. Now I'm living a happy life with my husband and out two children. I named them myself, since Natsume is definitely not a good baby namer. Akira and Etsuko.
"Hey Polka, living room's a mess. Go clean it."
Ugh. After all this years, he still calls me that? I love him anyway.
