The Recovering Pessimist: Public Service Announcement: Your Life, Your Choices -- People expect you to explain why you make the decisions you make. You don't owe these people anything. If they don't like it, they can kiss your ass. | www.therecoveringpessimist.me #amwriting #recoveringpessimist #optimisticpessimist

Public Service Announcement: Your Life, Your Choices

I got the idea for this blog post from a conversation I had with some family members some time ago. They ask the same questions all the time and I’m sure they mean well when they ask, but bruh, you don’t have to ask me:

When are you getting married?

When are you going to have some kids?

For the record, I have no desire to get married and I never wanted children. Both of those decisions are perfectly fine. However, people legit act like you spit in their eyes with ghost pepper hot sauce.

Seriously, why do YOU feel disrespected?

I often wonder if people feel a way about your life choices because they have regrets. Maybe they wanted to make the moves you’re making but they fell victim to society’s expectations. Regardless of their reasons, you don’t owe them a “why” for the decisions you make. In all honesty, they can kiss your ass, but I digress.
