Settlin'

   When you reach that age of maturity, guys start coming to your Dad cause their interested in marrying you. When I was a little girl, my dad told me your never gonna get married. So I told all the old ladies that said they wanted me for their son that I'm not getting married. Once I turned 16, my sister was 18 years old, so guys were interested in her. I was completely shocked! My dad was telling me for all those years that we're not gonna get married and here he is telling my sister about guys. You might think it's stupid for me to believe my dad when he told me that but I did, you don't question your father, right?


    Now that I am old enough, my dad is always telling me about proposals. He hasn't told me about someone that I would be interested in. My friends are all telling me not to be so picky and reject every guy. But is it better I marry someone just to please the people around me? or because I need to stop being choosy?
I am not the type of girl that does what people tell me to do, or need the opinion of others to make a decision. I mean, really! Why do girls have to settle for less?
  
   Oh and the best part is they scare you with stories of girls that never got married because of this. They don't ever mention the beautiful stories of girls that waited for the right guy that meets their standards and are happy now.
  
  I guess I'm just frustrated with hearing that guys are never too old to get married but girls basically have an expiration date.
For me I rather not get married than marry someone just out of fear of never finding someone that is truly right for me.


   Only Allah knows what the future holds, and Insha'allah I'll marry the right guy for me.
