I'm a young single professional woman and at time get caught up in my career that I lose sight of the fact that I'm getting older and this is the 'ideal' time for courting. You read right-Courting! It's interesting I tend to sacrifice a lot of my personal time in order to be successful. Should there not be balance between the two?
The pressures I receive from my family is astonishing! My grandmother would like to see my get married and have children before she dies. I love my grandmother but she is a broken record in my ear every week I just want to say to her ' Leave me alone! It's enough pressure as it is!' Ones career shouldn't fall short because I'm not dedicating 110% of my time to it. Is there really such thing as balance?
I'm the third wheel when going out with my friends, I'm always invited to my friends children's birthday party's and no child to bring. I have more godchildren then I do children (side note: I delight in the fact that I can send them back home). Although, the opposite can be said this is the slight I'm choosing in this situation. I feel like I'm getting to that crossroad where I have to choose between my career or getting married and starting a family. However, I can't do the latter because I've been out of the dating circuit (is that what you call it?) for soooo long that I wouldn't know what to do? Where to look? How do you know if he's the right person? And lastly, should I be looking for a husband or just a friend? Aren't we taught that we should marry our bestfriend?
While searching (yep!) and browsing (samething?) I came across some hope for us single young professional woman. Now, brace yourself...right now she has the catch of a lifetime. So, I ask again, what characteristiscs should a young woman look for when dating? Well, take a look at what Michelle Obama shares. I hope it enlightens you as it did me. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope.
Tuddles!
