It’s sad to see that in a world that women have come such a long way some people still judge your success and happiness in life based only on your love life. It doesn’t matter if you went to University, speak five languages, work for a big company, have many close friends, travel around the world, take big steps in life and manage to be independent and knock out a different game everyday, there’s always going to be the questions coming your way.
Don’t get me wrong, as a friend recently said to me I am a relationship person, but I love myself more than a facebook status. No one should be in a hurry to get married and have children; instead everyone should figure out themselves first to then be able to share it with someone. Of course, there will always be those who fall in love in high school and mate for life, if it works for them then that’s good. But it didn’t work for me, I needed freedom much more than that.
If I take a little trip back in my life I can see how a serious commitment would have held me back, how I was not ready to let go of my goals just yet, and I don’t expect people to get it, I am happy with myself and loving where I stand. And let’s remember marriage is a choice and not an only way street. I am certain that it will come a day when someone will be worth to compromise, but until that day comes… I ain’t worried.
Cheers to that!
