EAVESDROPPING.

Hey there, sorry for not posting for a long time am really sorry, just that I've been very busy with stuffs, that's what we call it when we don't want to go into details. Am on twitter by the way and here is my handle, @call_me_debbie.
I love hanging out alone sometimes, it helps clear my head, if you haven't tried it before you should, goto somewhere no body knows or will distract you, sit and think please no negative thoughts, I was sitting by my self sipping my bottle of sprite, you know how it is when you are on your own not trying to listen to someone's conversation, but at the end you find yourself eavesdropping, I wasn't even trying, a girl was forced to breakup with her boyfriend because of circumstances, like she didn't want to but she had to, her reasons or the two lovers reasons were, I just couldn't help countering each one in my head :

AGE MATES ; does it matter? Our society has created this whole notion that as a lady you must marry a guy older that you with at least two years, but I still ask does it matter? This problem has destroyed so many relationships, just because they felt it won't work because the girl is same age with them or older than them.
FINANCE; This I can understand to an extent that it does affect a relationship, nobody wants to go into marriage without financial security.
I WONT BE READY WHEN YOU ARE; I know it does take a while before guys are ready for marriage, majority actually, but I have seen and heard about guys who marry early and doing very well, so am not a 100% with this answer.
FAMILY WONT AGREE: Getting the blessings of your family is really important, but does it have to control your happiness, does it have to dictate who you can or can't marry, so many people ended up not been with the love of their lives because of silly reasons given by their families, am not suggesting going against them but there are times you do need to put them in their place.
AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU; Are you the one to dictate what's good and not good enough for me? This reason I sincerely do hate the most, like let me decide, let me make my own decisions don't make them for me
Listening to her complains, I ached to go to her and advice her not to throw away her happiness just because of silly reasons today, that she might regret tomorrow, it may seem like the best decision now, it might actually end up been the best decision she ever made, who knows? But her happiness should be her main priority.
