#not really a complaint just me musing#met up with some friends to go shopping at the Amish stores (huzzah bulk foods!)#they’re both about my mom’s age so they do get kind of motherly at times#and for some reason dating and marriage in regards to me came up#why is it that older Christian women in particular like to console single Christian women about being single?#it’s like an impulse#I didn’t even say anything and the one friend went ‘you’ll get there eventually’ or something (but it didn’t sound that condescending lol)#like ‘don’t worry you have time you’ll meet someone’#and when I protested that no I was like…totally cool with my life and not actively searching she doubled down#in the nicest way possible and it’s nothing against her or any of the women who do it#and yes it is frustrating especially for the young women around me who actively WANT to get married#and I get it can worry the folks in our parents’ generation#but I’m almost 30#I don’t need empty reassurances#I appreciate it but I personally don’t need to be told I’m not broken#thankfully I’ve worked through all of those issues and I’m at peace with it#sure if I met the right guy I’d be opening to pursuing a relationship#but I think it’s so important to be comfortable with yourself#to understand your own mind and heart#to know how to be alone#I don’t think it’s necessarily natural and it’s not good to ALWAYS be alone#and modern culture can be isolating so you gotta watch that#but solitude is not bad#and I’m old enough to understand not everyone gets married#don’t try to tell me I’ll meet someone some day#I may not#I dunno maybe I’m old enough to write a few paragraphs to the singles#it ain’t a season guys it’s…something else altogether#and you have to live either way#I dunno she was nice about it but every time! every time
