RE: Marriage? Not for me. Here's why..

in #marriage7 years ago

It’s very interesting read and I think you totally shouldn’t care about what others think and what is it that you should do. Marriage is just a commitment but most people can live together in a committed relationship and stay happy, I think you still have many years left... I am 30 now and I’m not ready for kids or marriage yet! But one day I might be or I might not be, who knows? Point is I stopped caring after 30 what everyone else thinks..... my life, I do whatever I want. Trust me when you hit 30 a lot of things don’t matter anymore, you become more selfish but why wouldn’t you? You have one life, use it! :)

You're totally right Alla. A lot of my friends tell me that at 30 you feel more comfortable in your own skin. I think I should start caring less about what other people think!

Oh yeah, about those people who tell you how to live your life? I find that they are in a very privileged position of dishing out advice that they don't have to suffer the consequences for.

I made it a point to only listen to advice from those who had taken the path themselves.

That's also true. It's hard sometimes to switch off from other people's opinions. But I'm learning to become more comfortable with my own choices and more comfortable in my own skin. Thanks for reaching out about this. You make a lot of sense :-)
