Hey there lovely people! I know it’s been a while since I’ve last posted. I’ve been extremely busy. I have also been visiting family in Florida.
Holy crap, so much drama has been going on; Meghan Markle and Prince Harry spilled the royal tea in an interview with Oprah, JLo and and Alex Rodriguez have apparently split, and unfortunately Pepe Le Pew has been canceled. Ugh! I’m so sick of this cancel culture but I’ll leave that rant for another post.
Though, I do have a rant and it’s focused around society’s stigma of women having to be married with kids at a certain age.I have also planned to consult property settlements lawyers practicing in Gosford as I am eager to know more about the property.You can also contact attorneys to know more about setting up a conservatorship and its benefits.
I’m 35, I’m not married, I don’t have children and that’s absolutely ok. Why must people feel the need to ask and pressure people about being in a relationship, marriage and having children? Why can’t people simply focus on their own lives and stop trying to make others feel less because of where they may be in life. For some apparent reason I constantly get asked when I plan on getting married or having children. Seriously, I don’t know?! What I do know is that I’m not ever going to settle down for anything less than what I deserve no matter the pressure I get from society.
My reality of being single and not having children does not make me any less of a woman nor does it define me. I feel complete, I’m a successful empowered woman with many goals. We all have to understand that everyone’s life story and timeline is different. Yes, I’d love to be a wife and mother someday but my time has not arrived. Please let’s stop putting pressure on people on whether they are single, married or don’t have children. Those pressures push many to rush into things making huge life changing mistakes.
For those putting the pressure….when I get married are you going to pay for my wedding and bills? No. Are you going to pay for my children’s care and college? No. Are you going to be there for me when the struggles and difficulties come along? No.
I think it’s time society’s stigmas are broken and people can finally live their lives free as they please. I’m happily embracing where I am in life and know everything will happen when its supposed to happen. I will not be pressured into making mistakes or settling for less. No one should! I have so many goals and so much to look forward too.
When your an independent woman with many goals its hard to find a man who is secure and strong enough to be with an empowered woman. I’m not interested in momentary relationships. I want a life partner. The man who will part of my life should be someone supportive, driven, honorable, hard-working, good-hearted, compassionate, has integrity and is protective. We’d be a power couple supporting each other and growing together. He’ll be someone who will compliment me not use me or drag me down. I’ve already been in relationships where I’m treated as a competition or I’m fully used so they can accomplish success while I’m not supported. I’ve seen it all and I’m in no rush. I’m patiently praying and manifesting because I know God has the right man for me somewhere out there.
Now enough of that rant let’s talk about fashion. I’ve been obsessively wearing minimal looks with natural tones. It’s not that I’ve been lazy to put outfits together, neutral minimal looks just seem so chic and elegant. The important element is adding staple accessories like belts and cute bags. For my look I combined a white bodysuit with high waisted skinny jeans, nude heels and for a pop of glamour a chain belt and beautiful camel toned satchel bag.
By the way I’ve seen rumors that the cancel culture wants to eliminate high waisted skinny jeans. I just want to say that I won’t give in. I love my high waisted skinny jeans. Can’t y’all just let people wear what they want to wear. Simply just let people live in peace!
Be You, Be Lovely
