32 and single in a world where marriage is seen as a blessing, like an achievement and not being married seemed like a curse. you're already tagged a failure. I was told "women are like flowers, they're beautiful in the morning and everyone is attracted to them, but its beauty withers when its evening and nobody will want it". I was told to not be picky when it comes to men so that I can be married when I'm in my prime but I've always had a different ideology on marriage.
Marriage is beautiful, when done for the right reason with the right person and while you're married you're still fulfilling purposes.
As human, I've sometimes felt some type of way being the only single person among my circle of friends that are married with kids, I was envious of them Until I spoke to some of them and their responses were "marriage will change you, your focus shifts, priorities changes as well to your immediate family. Anything you want to do better do it now because marriage is the end of that dream or purpose."
Their responses made me realize my ideology about marriage wasn't wrong.
I am single, I see it as a blessing and not a curse. An opportunity to chase that dream, fulfill purposes. An opportunity to impact on others. There are extends you can go to as a single person which you can't as a married person, because you'll have to put a lot into consideration.
Being single is an opportunity to find myself and find my purpose purpose to be ready for a greater purpose called marriage.
I love my singlehood because I'll keep learning and preparing my self as I impact in others awaiting the right partner that will support my purpose.
This is for every single lady out there, no matter how old you are, I want to tell you today that your not cursed but blessed.
Go after that dream, fulfill that purpose and be happy while at it. Marriage doesnt define you neither being single.
Take your time, explore dream dreams and make them reality, they're achievements greater than marriage.
To every young girl out there don't be subjected to marriage for the wrong reason, do not limit yourself, know yourself worth before the man comes and don't see marriage as a dream or purpose killer. You can become anything you want either married with the right person or single.
Being single is not a curse.
