Because I may not be totally happy with who I am and I would like some time to discover what I have to offer to the world.
Because I still haven’t found the one for me and I will not settle down just because the watch is ticking.
Because marriage is not a game and I will not play for a proposal.
Because I don’t want a divorce after six months.
Because marriage is not related to a certain age or a certain culture.
Because my heart is still healing.
Because I still can’t see who I want next to me on my wedding day.
Because even though my mom wants grandkids and my dad wants to make sure someone out there will take care of me, I am still not prepared for all of that.
Because I will not live with someone before I connect with him passionately, logically, and master the art of his inadequacies.
Because the hook-up beliefs have ruined it for all of us.
Because I still haven’t found the one who falls in love with my scars.
Because I am strong enough to live by myself-at least for now.
Because as much as I hate aloneness, it gives me the sugariness and safety I long for.
Because I refuse to believe that all marriages are firm and love is dead.
Because I am not willing to compromise my soul to please the world.
Because I’m more concerned about the marriage than the white dress and the wedding day.
Because I still want to dance and write and laugh and sing and I don’t want anyone to defeat all of that.
Because God is still finishing my story before he lets someone else read it.
Because my friends are not more “violent” or “cleverer” than I am for settling down early; they simply want different things in life than I do.
Because I am not too “difficult” or too “particular”; I am just trying to find the one who makes me smile.
Because I am not a desperate romantic, I just believe in love!
