HATE ON BEEN MISS INDEPENDENT

p>

Ive been termed thorny and stone age woman. Reason is Im 23 and have never tasted been in love or gotten webbed in some relationship. I know its 21st century but nobody have a right to judge me. Been single is and will never be a crime.

Each single day Im rattled for been single by society. I get blacklisted. Im called names. Im treated like a demon. Many people look down on me when they here this. My friends think Im abnormal. Those I meet think Im a liar, that Im too beautiful to be single. While Ive been single all my life and I wont allow social backlash to get the best of me. Im not getting coupled up yet to please anyone or fit in the society. Im a fierce woman who decided to be poles apart when I wrote down my own terms on when and how Ill want to get married. I know it sounds so wild but this is me, this is my life, Im not ashamed to be a strong, independent woman who stands and holds her own ground. I know exactly what I want in life and Ill never let anything sway my beliefs and despite all this social pressure to get hitched, Im still not ready to mingle.
