I'm 38 and I still don't want kids and a marriage. Do you think something is wrong with me? And how can I explain myself to people that am actually very content?
Do I think there is anything wrong with you? Nope. Marriage and kids isn't an obligation or an achievement, it is simply a choice. Nothing more, nothing less.
And how do you explain yourself? Well, you don't. Easier said than done, of course. And you're a woman, so it's a totally different ball game from being a man in the same position. But you're getting to the age where people will stop asking, mind you.. so tough it out.
From my experience, nothing good comes from explaining. And even worse if you are defensive about it, because then people will assume you're spinning #nasib into #sikap. So the best way to handle it is to be happy with your life. Because if you're miserable.. well, people will always think "makanyaaaa... menikah dan punya anak!"
Why? Because their scope of thinking is actually that small.
