I know that I am not half a person, I am not incomplete or unfinished. I am not broken and there is nothing wrong with me nor I am in danger because I'm not married. Although people constantly tell me look you're getting old, it's time to get on with it? Get on with what? Living? Contributing to society in a meaningful way? I pay taxes, I actively try not hurt people and I do need to do more in helping others but I am not a burden on society! Well maybe I am a burden on earth but no more or no less then your average person. I don't understand the expectations we place on each other.
I know the saying is marriage in completing half your deen but I didn't realise not being married at a certain age made me half a person. Does my value as person decrease as I get older and remain unmarried? I don't understand when did it become okay to make other feel bad because they don't have control of who will come into their lives and at what time. What I am simply to accept whoever just simply because I have reached a set time and therefore after that certain time I am then expired. I am not a piece of food that needs to be discarded after a certain time.
