Single Demple's Rants on "When are you getting Married? "

I just celebrated my 29th birthday last 29th of July. As you all know, when you're single at this age, a lot of relatives, friends, batchmates and even strangers will dare to ask you the most annoying question ever! "WHEN ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED?!! (Hapit naka lapas sa Calendaryo) You almost go beyond the calendar." I know, I just laugh it off, but sometimes, it began to sound really annoying. Just because I'm 29, people expect me to have kids and be married at this age. They didn't realized that they're throwing questions like they're throwing some stones. I don't want to stress out myself and listen to all the pressure.

Thus, I am writing this to throw awareness for those mouth who talks like they know everything. If getting married and settling down at this age is the best thing that happened to you well I'm happy for you! Congratulations! But it's not the same thing with me, because I am currently happy and enjoying my single life. I enjoyed myself binge-watching Korean dramas on Netflix and swooning over these oppas (male lead). Who says I need someone to take me to a delightful dinner? I can eat by myself or with my fellow single friend @sassycebuana. 🤣

Actually, it's nice to do things by yourself. Watching movie, eating meals, have coffee, go to the mall and etc. This is what self-love means. I am not relying my happiness to someone else. I am contented having me.

To all the single ladies out there, don't rush things just because you're afraid to dine or go see movie by yourself, because the moment you give in to what society expects you to be, you're screwed! Do what makes you happy, just do You and be You.

In this world full of narrow-minded people, just be yourself, at the end of the day you don't owe anyone anything.

To my 29 year old self, you did great! You continue to wait patiently for the man who will see your worth. You know that you are amazing and you are worth it for every single ounce of love and affection.
