There is a saying in Korean that says, "Words become seeds." Therefore, I would like to spread my seeds. I wait anxiously about our next step in life. There is a lot of uncertainty and I cannot help but to drive myself crazy. After nearing three weeks of marriage, there are a lot of things I realized that I must do and have yet to do. To make our new family more "official" in the legal terms aside from our marriage certificate is changing my name. The feminist in me says why change the name? The lover, the future mother, the partner says we cannot truly be one without my own leap of faith in changing my name. Of course, no one goes into a marriage expecting separation, but there is the dark reality that we are human in the end and we at times have our limitations to how much we will give for someone's love. I hope that we will never come to that. Young is my best friend. Young is my family. Young is my partner. I would hate to not have him be part of my life and although three years versus the 24 years I spent without him is no comparison, I know his presence has made such a large impact.
