I am not old
I got a comment earlier from a high school classmate saying that I should have a boyfriend already because we’re getting old.
It’s rude to say this but that comment didn’t make any sense to me. I have to say that if I am still in the Philippines, I would probably be conscious of my age as soon as I reached 20. But I don’t feel old. Why? Because I am not old. It’s as simple as that.
I don’t even think that since I am already in my 20s, I should snag a partner already, whether it is a serious one or not. I am happy right now. The perks of being single and not tied to anyone else is something that I didn’t explore when I was a teenager because I entered in a relationship a bit too early. With the way I plan things right now, having a boyfriend is going to be difficult for me — difficult, because I am not denying any possibility of getting into a relationship. Nonetheless, imho, I think that one should be in a relationship because you love someone and not because you’re getting old.
I guess it’s the usual social scripts that was playing that time.
