I read sayings like this over and over through my news feed. It's weird.

One time in history marrying young was a good thing, a wanted thing. Now it's looked at as something lame, something unwanted. Life is supposed to be lived, not to tie one down.

But is it really tying you down? Why is it so taboo now?

I mean, personally, I like leaving parties at 9:30 p.m. because I'm usually in bed by 10 p.m., but that's beside the point.

Depends on the person, though. One can look at it as if that person just gave their life away. Hell, one can look at marriage that way. Tied down to one person for the rest of your life. Gone are the days of sleeping around and having options. But hello to the days of always having a board game partner and someone to help you clean the house.

But then, there's the other side. There's the other side of falling in love with someone at a young, prime age. They become not only your world, but your travel buddy, your best friend, and your other half. Who else would I rather travel the world with? You. And I'd rather do it while we're at the prime age to climb the Great Wall of China and travel through the nooks and crannies of Europe.

I want to go to the party and come home early to watch a movie and cuddle underneath a ton of blankets. I want to be holding your hand when I get "big girl" jobs and your support during the process. I want you to be at my graduation and see what I have become.

One of the best parts of being with someone when you're young is you almost mold each other. What I lack, he has, and his influence has made me more of a whole person. We balance each other and have grown so much from when we met in high school—in a way, there's no one else I would rather be with since we complete each other. This person also knows me better than anyone else, since they have watched me grow up basically. And I also have shaped them.

It's a two-way street and let me tell you, it's a lovely street.

Why not get married if you're happy?

If you're with the one you love?

Like, why wait until society tells you that you're at a good age to get married when at the point you've been together for 12 years? Or even two? You know when you know.

Travel the world with your beloved. Finish school with them. Get good credit with them. Have cute kids with them. Plan the rest of your life with them, with more time than the average person.

Don't let people ruin your time because you married young.

It is not leaving the party at 9:30 p.m.
