I’ve completely forgotten about the existence of this blog so today I figured I shall just rant about something that has been bugging me as of the late. Being one who’s been single for a long time, I go through times when I’m desperately in search of a guy and it gets frustrating when it doesn’t happen seeing that I’m not the most patient person. It makes me feel unwanted. Sometimes seeing my friends getting into relationships make me envious. Don’t get me wrong, I am over the moon for them but I wonder what it feels like to have my person as well. Then there are times when I see the obstacles they face and I get filled with anger. Why is it so wrong for two people of different religions especially a non-Muslim dating a Muslim in a Muslim country. Why is there the need for them to have to think twice before being a couple? Why can’t it be like every other couples where they can be official without religion being a barrier? Why do family members encourage them to break up and shit just because they don’t want their family member converting to another religion? Isn’t that up to the couple to decide? Why is it in Asia, family members feel entitled to decide if two people should be together or not? A relationship is between the two individuals WITHOUT family members being involved (at least not till marriage). Even then, let the couple decide their next move and stop being nosey! All these questions sometimes make me wonder if I am actually blessed to be single and not have to think about this but at the same time, I wish I do meet someone soon (although it doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon). That’s all of my rant for today.
