I had a migraine triggered yesterday from barely sleeping and still recovering from it. I slept better last night, mind still feels very foggy. This morning I felt discomfort in my body, my mind went to when I used to feel it years ago. Then I noticed myself feeling distant, sort of floaty. I hope I can get through the day today with uni
Glad today has been better for you @creative_writer and that you gave yourself time rest.
Culture can be hard at times, especially when others think that they know better. I don't think you can just pluck someone of the street. You are right in saying that you have to feel safe with them.

Re: Nothing feels real
@Snowie, I think people always think you should be married off by a certain age. Reality is, it has to be with the right person. I don’t think we should pressurise people into marrying because they are at the age to do so if they haven’t found anyone suitable. Enmeshment is pretty normal among my culture, people get over involved. Don’t get me wrong, I do like certain aspects to my culture, but sometimes I feel so put off into marrying someone from the same culture because of the way family dynamics work. I won’t be marrying the whole family, only my husband

Re: Nothing feels real
You are right @creative_writer I don't think you can put an age on it. A marriage should be with someone you love, not just because everyone else thinks it is the right thing to do.
Am going to head to bed now. I hope you get some sleep tonight and tomorrow goes well for you. Take care 💕💕

Some would argue I’m too Westernised. I am who I am.
Goodnight @Snowie, I hope you sleep well 💕💕
