I found myself comparing my life to my mom when she was still just 30 years old. At that age, she is a loving wife and a doting mother of two, while juggling her demanding work. I thought that that is what was expected to a woman at that age. It is not something which is passé, even in the present time, being a bachelorette at 30’s is unusual.
So I decided that my life will be a little different from my mom, or my female cousins and friends who are already married and with kids in their 30’s. I think being different this way is something good. I would still focus on myself and myself alone. I would also be happy but in a more selfish way because my source of happiness will come internally. I don’t have a husband nor children, yet, to provide it for me.
I am very grateful for my experiences that shaped me on who I am now today. I feel stronger and more confident that I can overcome whatever challenges that lie ahead. I have more control on my emotions and sharpness of mind. More importantly, I really like myself. I accept my weaknesses and celebrate my strengths. Being in the 30’s is not to be shy nor worried about, it is a gift that I should enjoy.
