Ponder and move on : It is okay not to be okay

Experience is gotten from every phase of life.
Some are very pleasant and memorable ones, while some are not just it.

Life doesn't teach me early, not to be hard on myself for a lot of things.

That doesn't mean that I have had the most unpleasant stories or have lived for that long.
Yes, I am still young, learning, and growing.

I just want to highlight a few things, I have come to understand in life.



Life will pressure you with peer pressure, classmates, friends, and people around us.

Society will make you doubt and question your existence in many ways.

Growing up, adolescence stage will make you think about a lot of shits.
That shouldn't be worried about.
You even wish for some certain things that are burdensome without your knowledge.

Being worried about having a small breast and comparing yours with your peers.
Praying and wishing for your period to come quickly.
And lots more, that are very funny.



The pressure increases as an adult.
Thinking about establishments, responsibilities hits hard.

Pressure to get married and give birth quickly.
The heat to remind in an abusive marriage, making divorce a deadly flu.

And "what people will think".

This is certainly what drains us more.

You focus more on what people will think, while you go through much pains and distress.

And when you die, they mourn and blame you.
It is still on you.

We all have the phase, and if we can be sincere, most things won't be a problem in life.

Life is to be enjoyed and not to be endured.

No matter what our emotions and feelings swings to, we should enjoy that version of ourselves.

Most times, I get so much angry at emotions and feelings because it can lead to an unpleasant path when nurtured wrongly.



Lately, a friend was discussing how she was pushed to getting married because of a belief that once you are more than 26 in their family, no one will marry you again.
So, it is best to marry before you are 26 years old.

This made her marry at 25, now she is deeply questioning her decision.
But she can't turn back time.

Life will always happen.
We will continue to live.



Thank you very much for reading and sharing your thoughts and opinions at the comment section.

Continue to enjoy your day with amazing memories 😊

Thank you very much dear for stopping by.

She will be fine.

What she is questioning is what others are praying for.
Such is life.

There’s certainly a lot to be said about making our own choices in a lot of ways. We just have to weigh the options for now and the future. For example not getting married at 18 is likely an ok decision but don’t wait until you’re 35 to get married because you are a vastly different person and you likely will have troubles finding the right person and having children.

We should balance our situation now with what we may want in the future. A lot of women have made the wrong choices for their early years and deeply regret it when they get older and men reject them.

Yes.
I totally understand.

But no matter what.
One needs to set her mind first before embarking on a journey of no return.
