I have been pitied by classmates because I never married. I have been called lesbian behind my back by a guy in office. My mother thinks, I have bad nature that’s why I work in office, still no guy likes me enough to propose me. I didn’t get the house to rent in a township, because I am a single woman. When I get a house, I have been asked to not invite anyone home. I have been told by a colleague cum friend that I have few good years left in me before I become dry land. There is more but you get the picture. ....
Society does not have a place for single people, there is only 1 unit accepted all around, that is family. Till we don’t make one, we will suffer in many ways. Still choice is ours, and to live at our own terms will never be easy.
