I just finished reading this novel, and I think I can relates to one of the character in the book...
In summary, this book talks about women reaching their big 30...
Yes, this year, am going to celebrates my big 30 too.
I used to have all these plans in my brain that I will be married by the time I reaches 30,... and have a successful career, and probably even with a kid.....
Of course, things changes over the years..... and suddenly, I just realized that I am so near the big 30...
It freaks me out a bit initially.., but now... I don't really care. Well, not totally don't care, but I had "re-adjusted" my focus, and accepted that it doesn't really matter.
I probably already had the responsibility of a 30 years old, years ago.....
And, I am happy that I don't really look 30......
But anyway.... in this book, one of the character said this (not words for words... but something in that context)...
"do we rush into something because of the surrounding? just because we are 30? or even 32? If we were 25, probably we will be enjoying years-long relationship before deciding if we want to bring it to the next level..... so, are we doing this because of age? are we just getting married now because of peer pressure? because everyone else is doing it, and you just feel that its right to do it....?"
Well, I guess, most of us, whom are still not married when we hit 30... it seemed to send ALARM out. Especially ladies.... Why? Because before 30 is ideal age to get married?
I don't know..... I used to put a dateline to a lot of things in life..... "by 30...."
For now, I think I will just take things as it goes...... and handle it more maturely..... rather then rushing into it... just because I am reaching 30.
Girlfriends, go and read the book..... its just merely reminding us on ourselves. Some part of it, not all.....
