Time is of the Essence

Was chatting with a cousin about our sisters, we are unfortunately the younger ones, talking how our sisters sometimes made our life a living hell. Then she mentioned about her sister's lack of purpose in life. And I ask "What did you mean by that?". And she told me how her sister seemed to be too relax, no sense of devotion towards her parents and having no targets in life, i.e.: marriage and children blah blah blah. I was taken aback for a few second. And as usual, the "I don't want to create any drama, so I just keep quiet" person that I am, I started to nod to whatever she said, agreeing anything her mind spoke.

Our conversation got me thinking. When people asked about my status and all, I always said I'm single, which is the truth. And of course the questions continues, "Well, why aren't you looking? What are you waiting for?" and so on and so on. And I naturally replied, "God would make everything beautiful in His time, I just got to be patient". Now, some of you might think that that is just my excuse. But really, don't you think I haven't tried to look? Do people really think that we (single women) don't want to have any relationship?

It's not my fault that up until today, in the 25th year of my life I haven't plan to get married or anything. I mean, for crying out loud, WITH WHO???!!! There's something really wrong about our society measure success in life. Success means having a family. Bah! I mean it's nice to build a family and having children and all, but it doesn't mean that if I don't have it yet that there's something wrong with me and that I need help PRONTO! I just wish people would mind their own business. I believe if I haven't found anyone yet right now it's because there's some people i need to be there for. And that if I already have someone, I wouldn't have time for my family & friends. So there's is a blessing in disguise behind the situation. And believe it or not, I've found my peace. Whether I find my significant other today, tomorrow, next week or next year, I will be at peace. I'll whine every now and then, but I know my time would come. And for anyone else who thinks I've no intention in looking and finding that special person.. well, they can piss off!

God is Love, peace out!
