Not My Top Priority
I'm loving the the prompt of the sixth day of #30dayswritingchallenge because it's about being single and happy.
I'll tell you something. As a 27 year-old woman, I have never been in a committed relationship. Ever.
*MAJOR GASPS*
NOT EVEN IN HIGH SCHOOL WHERE THE PUPPY LOVE STARTED HITTING WHEN YOU REACHED PUBERTY????
Yeah well...
I used to be that kind of mischievous teenager who loved teasing her friend who's having a crush or significant other, it's just my nature I guess. I did however, had a crush with the guy who happened to be a student council president where I was one of the election committee. I can say we're quite closed but not that closed since he was my senior, but occasionally we often teased each other. But it was just a crush, it faded away as I graduated first (he had to repeat a year in high school due to being an exchange student while I skipped a year). And that's it, I never really had an attraction with someone else.
Some people might think it was an anomaly. I used to, but then having some friends and acquaintances who were active in Muslim organization in University who all of them are like "no dating policy." I don't feel like it was weird anymore. Eventually, some of them found their spouse in other scenario and as far as I knew, they loved it and enjoyed it.
Man, that sounds like I'm a hopeless romantic, huh? *cackles*
Maybe I am. I've never really bothered with relationship and marriage kind of stuff anyway. Maybe some of you think I'm an aromantic/asexual/demiromantic/demisexual. The thing is, I don't want to put myself into a label because I'm afraid it will offend those people who have figured themselves out.
I'm happy with what am I right now. Maybe one day I will figure it out or find a person who's willing to spend the rest of his life with. But for now, being in a committed relationship is not on my top priority.
