For the past couple of years, I have been living my early twenties. I have seen my family grow either with my siblings getting married and having kids and me being the youngest there has been all eyes on me..

I have had the pressure of being told I should be married or I should be having kids at 23. I have been with the same guy for 3 years and we have major ups and downs and trying to see if we work but I’m unsure. I love with my parents and I’m on the last year of college. It’s taken me longer to finish because I wasn’t taking it serious initially. I have seen my friends go and get married and have kids and I’m still me. But I trust the journey and where I am. I eventually want to get married and have kids and travel and graduate and a million other things but in all good timing.

With that being said I just thought that for whoever needs to read this or be reassured, that where you are is where you need to be and you don’t need to necessarily be in a relationship or married or having kids or doing whatever someone said you should be doing. Do what is right for your mental health and for your well being while being loving to others. Take this time to be selfish and work in who you need to be. Don’t settle and don’t become bitter. Be what feels best. I trust good things are to come wherever you may be right now.

Whoever you are know that I care and I want to see you do your best.
