I am 26 years old woman, When I was teenager used to watch the TV series “Sex in the city”. This show created an image in my head that even an an independent woman who is in her 30's can be sexy, attractive and single.
However lately I started to receive informations from my friends (who are roughly the same age as me);
- someone got married or is getting married
- someone has a baby or is pregnant and so on…
Most of my friends and other people around me seems to choose family and stabilization over freedom.
Am I immature or just others grew up too fast?
And what about this image of sexy, smart, single woman at her thirties?
Isn't it cool any more? It is hard for me to believe that it lost its attractiveness. Is this happening everywhere or just here in my Poland there is 'an obligation' to get married and starting family before the lady hits the “magic 30”?
I am very happy for all my friends who are happy with their other half, but from the other side with all those news I am starting to feel a pressure…
But what if some people are designed to be single? It looks like the role of the smart sexy and single woman was created for me ;-) Just kidding.
For now I know that I am not going to be bride any time soon. Therefore I am not going to bother about it, instead of I am going to have the best time of my 'single' time.
Finally I started to follow my dreams and this is the first time when I really feel that I can achieve them. I am learning new things every day, I also develop different skills. Funny, I never imagined that I had them until now. But the most important for me is that I started to push my life forward.
In life you will never know how things will go, if you will be 'lucky' to be one of those who “live happily ever after” but one thing I am sure: Investing in yourself will always pay off.
I love your post!
ReplyDeleteI think everyone has a different time to settle down and have family. It is true there is a different tendency in countries but also very individual decision.
Pleasure to read Eve!
