Choosing to be single at 36

Now 37 years old.

It's not that I don't want to get married, I'm just a living woman.

But I'm sure people around me think I'm a woman who can't get married.

As I work, when I take social communication, I inevitably feel confused, so I organized my current feelings.

Because I am single at this age, even if I am treated to deal with a boil or complain about being married, both are somehow...

What do you think... lol

Some people do not choose marriage.

Some people couldn't get married.

Some people get married and have no children.

Some people think marriage is happiness.

Some people are happy because they are married and have children.

I wonder if the idea of happiness is infinite.

... Read more私は36歳の独身女性として、日々感じることや考えていることがとても共感できました。社会では「結婚=幸せ」とずっと言われてきましたが、実際にはそれぞれの幸せの形があります。私も結婚にこだわらず、自分自身のペースで生きています。 仕事での人間関係や家庭の話題に取り残されることも多いですが、それを寂しいと思う反面、一人の時間を大切にして趣味や自己成長に励んでいる自分がいます。私の場合、結婚が幸せの全てではなく、心地よく自分らしく過ごせることが最も重要だと感じているからです。 社会からの目や偏見も決して気持ちの良いものではありませんが、これからは「独身でいること」ももっと普通に受け入れられてほしいと思います。人それぞれの価値観が尊重され、多様な生き方が歓迎される社会になることが理想です。 また、周囲と同じように家庭を築かなくても、自分の人生に満足し、豊かに生きている人もたくさんいます。例えば趣味の旅行や友人との交流など、誰かと一緒に過ごす時間を楽しんでいます。 結婚や子どもを持つことだけが幸せの基準ではありません。私もこれからも自分らしく、納得のいく人生を歩んでいきたいと思います。この記事を読んでいる方も、自分の価値観で幸せを考え、周囲の評価に左右されずに生きていくことが何より大切だと感じてほしいです。

Some heartbreaks don’t happen in a single moment. No betrayal. No goodbye. No dramatic ending. Just a thousand little moments where you slowly realize you’re the only one still trying. If this feels familiar, you’re not alone. ❤️ #relationships #love #healing #heartbreak

Stop Chasing, Start Choosing
You don’t become the chosen one by proving your worth—you step into it by knowing you already are. The moment you stop auditioning for love, validation, and acceptance is the moment you realize you were never meant to beg for a seat at the table—you were meant to own your space. 💡 Instead of ask
