Marriage and middle age.

Here's what they don't tell you; it's ok if you don't get married. It's really, truly, ok. It's ok if you don't want to, it's ok if you think you do and you don't meet someone compatible, it's ok if you try and it fails. All of that is ok. Literally. It. Is. Ok. In fact, omg, wait for it... It's normal.
No she didn't say that!
Yes, I did.
And it's true.
It's also ok that you feel like marriage and partnership are destined to be part of your life. We are happy for you, but this post isn't for you. This is for the women who aren't or don't want to be currently in a marriage and are wondering if they are somehow unfeminine, gay, a loser, or mentally ill and nobody has bothered to tell them. This is for the women that want to make sure they are ok for not being married.
Women of Earth: it's ok.
It's totally normal and there is an enormous group of us. And my biggest piece of advice would be this: stop fucking worrying about it. Stop trying to make everyone around you comfortable by pretending you also feel disenfranchised for being single and happy about it. Stop that, gurl. It's ok to be stoked about your life.
Don't feel guilty you spend your money on shoes, or handbags, or vacations, or make up, or change your hair every 8 weeks- it is awesome to be single and to tend to yourself.
And if you find that you're ready to change your mind...
That's fine too. That's normal.
