Iʼm just a 21year old girl, society and people pressure you to get married when you reach certain age like 20. Iʼm a girl who never cried in front of people as if Iʼd look weak in front of them, recently I realized this whole thing is not out of strength but weakness. To express your emotions requires strength.
Two months ago, I got engaged to my parent’s friend’s son, first it was going good but after only 10 days I realized he wasn’t the one who is willing to support me along the way, He said ” if you can’t accept me as who Iʼm and itʼs not enough, youʼre gonna struggle a lot”, but why would I accept a man who says”your dreams are nothing, you should support Me along the way”. We argued for a while and topic come to independence, I said, don’t hurry until you reach financial independence coz who would want a 26 year old man who dependant on his parents. I thought a lot and I decided to break up, in our culture itʼs not appropriate but itʼs much better than ruining your own life for the rest of your life. We girls should learn to say No and set our own boundaries. Even if Iʼm totally alone and have lost my passion a bit, Iʼm sure I can find it.
Iʼd like to show my friend Iʼm struggling but who cares huh?
