I Don’t Feel Any Pressure Right Now
Umuwi ako sa Virac last weekend. As always, sobrang masaya ako to see my nephews and nieces. My gosh, how can they grow so big and I didn’t know? Truly time really flies.
So dinner came, everybody is now asking me if I still have plans of getting married. To be honest, I’d love to see myself being married. But I am in no rush. I can see in their eyes that they are feeling the pressures of being a single woman like me. I’d like to take my sweet time.
Years ago, I almost got married. This is the main reason why I am very wary about marriage. At this point, I think I am ready to get married but the eternal question is to whom? Certainly not with a guy who does not know how to treat a woman right. Nor to a guy who doesn’t know what he wants in life. Most of the time, I am certain of my feelings, when some people are not.
So, when my family is feeling all the pressures, I understand that they fear I would end up being single all through my life. Much to their dismay, I just said if its not my time, then it isn’t.
I am working on it. Much prayers, trust, patience and perseverance. Sometimes, tears have to be shed when you fall in love. But they are all worth it in the end. Better to love that not loved at all.
So…. no, I don’t feel any pressure right now.
