I never did
This coming Thursday, I’ll turn a year older. 27, late twenties or whatever. But what has been bugging me for quite a while now, is the incessant questions from relatives, family friends etc. etc. on why I do not have a boyfriend, on why I am not married, on why I don’t want to. I guess it is normal, most people my age are already married and have kids. But it makes me feel uncomfortable getting those kind of questions. I don’t know if I will ever get married, I do not know what will happen in the future. Regarding having kids, I do not know if I want to have one. Because honestly, I am still so selfish, and I do not trust myself on taking care of another tiny human being. I like what I have right now, sure it would be nice to meet someone who genuinely likes you and whom you genuinely like as well. But settling down is not on my mind. I cannot envision something like that right now. All I can see is me, finally moving to my dream city, struggling but still enjoying everything. I don’t want to fit into someone else’s box of who I should be or what I should be doing. I want to fit into my own box. I just want them to leave me alone. I try not to care, but we all have our limits. The worst feeling is when you answer them that no I don’t think I’ll get married and they look at you like you’re bat shit crazy. I am sorry I am not like you, I am not even going to try to be….
