Back when I was in elementary, I can still
remember telling Katrina, my classmate, that when I grow old I want to remain
single for life. And I was even proud to
say that. I can even recall what Katrina
said, “If I were to become single for the rest of my life, I would rather become a nun.” Hehehe! A funny idea to me. Becoming single for life does not mean you
have to become a nun.
I have never envisioned myself
being married and having kids. Never.
Never in my wildest dreams have I longed for a husband and children of my
own. And, never have I considered myself
an ‘abnormal’ person for having no thoughts and no plans of getting
married. Whenever my friends tease me,
“Ga lina-on ka naman” (You are acting like a spinster again) or “Daw laon ka”
(You’re like an old maid), I never got offended. Ever!
I even take it as a compliment, and I am proud to say that! :D
I have even prayed to God to give
me that desire to remain single for the rest of my life. I could remember praying and asking God to hear my petition, crying hard (literally), when I was still in college (or early years after graduation).
