I am single and happy about being single, simply because I can do the things that I want and there's nobody to restrict me. I know what I want and am going towards that direction.
I can proudly tell everyone that I am living for myself.
From the day we are born to the age 4, we learn to eat, cry, walk and run in order to survive.
From age 4 to 20+, we go to school and study hard, mostly, for the sake of our parents.
After we graduated from school, we find jobs almost immediately, in order to earn for bread and butter.
In work, we meet the other partner that we like and chased after them till we finally saved up enough to get married.
During the marriage, we saved up even more for housing loans, etc in order to live comfortably.
After marrying for 2 years, a baby comes along, and in order to feed the baby, we work doubly hard to save up.
Baby grows up and finally goes to school, graduated and before we knew it, we are reaching retirement.
Retirement, the only phase where we can finally relax and do the things that we always wanted to do. But, alas, we are too old by then to do anything, even if our stamina allows us to.
Now, let's us look back and ask ourselves, How many years in your whole life does it really belong to you, yourself? Have you realised your dreams at all? What has happen to the dreams that you dreamed?
Sadly to say, none of the above belongs to you.
From the day we are born, we learn survival skills till we are ready to go to school. After we graduated, we work hard to save $ for marriage. After getting married, we saved even harder for our housing loans, our children, their education and blah blah blah until the day when we reached retirement.
Hmm... I am not saying that I am not getting married, but I am postponing them till a few years later after realising my dreams... One may argue the fact that you can still do the things you want evn if you are attached. But, will you leave your spouse if there's a dream that you have been wanting to realise and your spouse disapprove it? I dun think so...
Hmm... just my thoughts on staying singlehood!
