Dear Cutrina,
I am a young girl from Karachi, who is about to graduate soon. I’m excited about starting a career but there’s a huge problem: my mom; more specifically, my mom pressurising me to get married. I feel like I’m still quite young and don’t want to “settle down” just yet. What should I do?
Sincerely,
Don’t want to be a Mrs (yet)
Dear Don’t want to be a Mrs (yet),
Girl, firstly you shouldn’t just “feel like” you’re young. You ARE young, and the only thing you should be settling down with right now is fast internet so you can stay up to date with those memes.
You’re in your early 20s I’m guessing and it’s just about to get worse. A lot worse. Why add a husband to that list?
I mean imagine having a tag along for life or being a tag along. That is not where your life is right now. Yours is the age to be extremely selfish and even a little reckless. Twenties means you can finally push your curfew to a few hours longer, perfectly curate your insta timeline to show you’re single and having fun and eating pretty food, and rewinding that Jon Snow scene (yes, that one) as you please.
But I guess you’re not the one who needs convincing. So here’s how to handle the pressure from your mother:
You’re welcome,
Cutrina
