i've been reading a few articles recently on 'singleness', 'waiting for the one', and CNY being every single woman's nightmare because it is the season of relentless questions asking about THAT ELUSIVE ONE to the point ladies hire fake boyfriends to evade questions.
yes, i've been in that hot seat and i've been there before. and for the 1,001 articles there are out there about how you really don't like it... i think the question should be, will you remember to not subject your own nieces and nephews to the same treatment in 20 years' time? will you be that same annoying aunty (or uncle) who makes comments about your niece's singleness / weight / acne / grades when you could actually be discussing more important topics like - what effects do you think Trump had on the world? would you make it a point to create scintillating conversation or keep your relatives occupied? maybe instead of picking on things that are not within their control (weight, face, height, grades), keep them engaged with board games or ask about the latest project they're working on.
so before raising complaints and writing articles (like this: http://thir.st/blog/shake-off-thir-st-talks/ which to be honest, seems to be a complaining session via WhatsApp that should be kept on WhatsApp and not broadcast to the world). rather than write articles, how about thinking of doing something to change this?
“some people feel like they don't deserve love. they walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.”
“This is how you do it: you sit down at the keyboard and you put one word after another until its done. It's that easy, and that hard.”
