You keep asking me about marriage.
As if love is a deadline.
As if my life is late
because it hasn\u2019t followed your timetable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So let me answer you once.
Not with anger.
Not with excuses.
Just with truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not afraid of marriage.
I\u2019m afraid of choosing the wrong kind of love
just to satisfy noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marriage is a lifetime commitment,
a covenant,
and if made with the wrong person,
one might end up regretting a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t want to rush into forever
because of pressure.
I don\u2019t want to settle
because silence makes people uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want the right love.
The patient kind.
The peaceful kind.
The kind that doesn\u2019t raise its voice
or its hands
or its power over me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want a love that listens.
That cares.
That doesn\u2019t compete with me
or try to shrink me
to feel bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want a love that is intentional.
Interested.
Present.
Not confused about choosing me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to be valued.
Not tolerated.
Chosen,
not just picked
because time is running out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to feel seen.
Not as a project to fix,
but as a person becoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want a love that reminds me of my worth
even on the days I forget it myself.
A love that wants my growth,
not my silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So no,
I\u2019m not delaying marriage.
I\u2019m protecting my future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m waiting for a love built on loyalty,
friendship,
honesty,
and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m waiting for a love that corrects me with kindness.
That is gentle with my healing.
That understands some wounds
need time,
not pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m waiting for a love that feels safe.
Safe to speak.
Safe to grow.
Safe to be human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the next time you ask me
when I\u2019m getting married,
understand this,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not late.
I\u2019m intentional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I\u2019d rather arrive whole
than arrive early and broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
