As we grow older, we hear these statements from our folks. Be it relatives, friends, families and co-workers.
Why are you still single?
Do not wait for you to be too old to get married! Make sure to get married by 25!
You are old enough you should start planning on settling down!"
While when we were younger we are always advised to study first before we enter the kingdom of love. Study first before this and that. Yeah? Relate?
Why are you still single?
This would always be the question being asked when you reach 24 years old up.
Why are you still single?
Whenever you go to a reunion.
Now question, is it really a necessity to get married? Should we really get married? Why should we have our own family if we are happy living alone?
Now here are some of the reasons why people would bug you on marrying:
So someone could take care of you
-but what if you can take care of yourself?
So someone would grow old with you.
-can I just grow old and die by myself?
So someone can share with you happy moments
-what if I am happy all by myself?
So you'd have kids and grand kids. You should have your own legacy.
-is it a must to have one?
Well, these were the things our folks would want us, to follow the norms. Study, graduate, get a job and get married - normal life cycle eh?
On the other hand the statements below were the words that those who are happy being single responded. For them, being single at the age of 24 and above isn't normal. As you might have a hard time having a child and etc.
Now I tried to ask 3 of my friends who have been single for a long time as to,"why haven't you decided to settle down?"
Here are their answers:
Because I have to help my family.
Because I have not found Mr. Right.
Because I am not over my EX yet.
When you wanna settle down and love someone, it is better if you are not carrying any baggage like helping family, issues with family and etc. It is also best to think it over if that someone you are in a relationship with is a husband or wife material or if you would be happy to wake up every single day with that person.
Lastly, never ever engage into a relationship if you are not over someone just yet. It would only cause you pain so as to the person whom you've used to move on.
If you are single til now and you are 24 above whatever your reasons maybe know that it is fine. You are fine. Follow your heart and to where you are happy. Stop minding other people. Focus on your career and improving your way of living.
"Someday, somewhere, somehow you would get to find the right one for you."
Meron ako nito. Lol. Hanapin ko nga. And yes, nakakaumay ang ganito. Every birthday na lang, wish nila mag asawa na ako. Yung mommy ko, hindi naman ganito sakin. Yung relatives lang. At ayoko magka jowa ng dahil sa ayoko ng maging single. At ayokong kahit sino na lang kahit alam kung di naman worth it. ππ
Kung wala akong jowa Forever, okay lang. Tanggap ko na kapalaran ko and masaya naman ako. π
