I really don't feel the pressure from my family, friends or society.

However, I do put it on myself. I want to get married and have that fairytale life. I know life isnt a fairytale. I just want a partner to love and share my life with.

The tv fairytale life is not possible. Tv makes everything seem different.

You ever see how they portray having a baby. There is no wonder why new moms are scared.

I look at the papers and see couples celebrating 25 adn 50 year anniversaries, so I know it is possible.

IMO the worst thing a person can do is try to be like someone they are not. We have to move at our own speed, fairytales are just what they sound like fairyfales. I will make my own story anyway I like with no regrets.
