As a 27 years old woman, society expect so much from us. To have the perfect marriage, the perfect household, the perfect kids, the perfect career, and most importantly, the perfect attitude. If you are missing any of those “qualities” that society tells you you need then you are a failure. You are a failure because you don’t have a husband, you are a failure because you don’t have kids, you are a failure because you don’t have a career, and the list goes on.
How about they start giving you credit for all the things you have accomplished so far? How about they stop mentioning what you need and don’t need and start giving you support; emotional support? Well, unfortunately that is not the case. You have no idea how many times I have gotten approach by people that knew me from before and the first question they ask is “are you married” and when you give them your answer then their energy towards you completely changes. It has gotten very annoying and frustrating.
What can you do about it? Simply block that energy. I consider that negative energy, and you have to protect your inner peace. Nobody has the power to hold you down or/and make you feel like less. Stay strong! Because at the end of the day, you are not a failure even if you don’t see it that way!
Your time will come, there’s no need to rush life. It’s okay not to be married with kids by now, it’s okay if you ae still trying to figure out yourself, figure out what you want to do with your life, figure out how you want to live life. IT IS COMPLETELY OKAY! DO not let society dictate other wise because they are not correct. The “Norm” is not correct anymore. Do what makes you happy! Do what fulfills you in life!
