Living in the south, I see teenage girls who are groomed from a very young age to get married after college. It’s almost like a Wedding Timeline for Southern Belles.
================================================
The steps are very easy…
Go to a college
Meet your fiancé’
Get a degree ( in anything)
Marry your college sweet heart
Work in your chosen career field for 2-4 years
Have a baby
Become a stay at home mom
================================================
I have seen this countless times and it makes me insane some days. It makes me feel inadequate for not doing as so many of my friends have done. I mean why can’t I be married, why did I have to do step # 6 before all of the rest. Why didn’t I listen to my mother about my son’s father?...
I thought that he would be “The One” …HA!...he showed his signs long ago but being 17 I didn’t take heed. Hell at 23 I didn’t want to believe the signs. I thought having a baby and finally getting our own would “change” him. So naïve…
Although I would love to be married I am happy I didn’t settle like other people I know. I couldn’t imagine being in an unhappy marriage. I don’t know how people do it.
There are times when I get sad about being single but then I remember that I want to be happy in whatever relationship I choose to be in and chill the hell out. It gets hard but I know one day My Prince will come…lol…Yeah I watch too many Disney movies but some dude , somewhere is waiting for Peachy and when I find him, I won’t let go, unless he’s nuttier than squirrel sh*t then I am cutting him loose with the quickness…lol…
