I’m so sick of being pressured to find a boy to marry

My god. I’m 21 and everyone acts like I’m a spinster. I’m happy being single. I have so much going on in my life, I don’t need a boyfriend, husband, or child to add to it.

I don’t care that you want grandchildren. I don’t care that you think I’m going to die alone. Let me die alone.

I’m single by choice. It’s not because I can’t, it’s because I don’t want to. Let me live and breathe for a day without pressuring me to “meet a boy.”

For goodness sake I am sick of it. I don’t want to feel this pressure.

Like I’m going to a concert or a bar to be with my friends, not everything is about meeting my future husband. If anything this makes me detest the idea of a relationship because it’s becoming such a big deal.

I’m so tired of this. My grandmother is calling me a spinster and telling me to get married. Fucking Mormons man. Not all Mormons, I know, but I don’t need to get married! I have 21 cousins and literally once all of my damn female cousins hit 19 suddenly they got married.

Doesn’t mean I have to! I’m not even Mormon. I respect the culture and everything but I don’t want 5 kids and I don’t want to get married at first sight.

Just leave me alone.
