Three years in a marriage is not a lifetime. Yet, when you get up one morning to realize that you are celebrating three years of being married, you wonder how that happened so quickly. Where did the last three years pass me by in the twinkling of an eye? 
Like all marriages, we’ve had our share of highs and lows – if I may add, more highs than lows.
It does sometimes still annoy me that I have married a family and not a person. As an only child of a very individualistic family, there is no personal experience that I came with that would have made me run in the opposite direction from a situation like that or warned me that it would be difficult.
But if I were celebrate one of the many great things about our marriage, it would probably be that we both have the space to exist as completely different people. With the individualistic family background baggage, that is more important than I realized.
It is indeed a special thing to always have the freedom to pursue your dreams or just the space to be the person that you want to be everyday.
Thank you Manoj! Thank you life!
