30s, SUCCESS and BEING SINGLE, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

It was situated on the month of Ramadhan. My friend invited me to the Break Fasting in her residence. There were around 15 persons of them, fitted on one unit apartment in Rasuna Residence Area..

It was very merry! ;)

And, the discussion was not far from the old song.. which is.. “When Would You End Your Bachelor Status?”. If it would be composed to a song, I’m sure that Grammy at least would nominate us as ‘The Best Evergreen and Forever Last Song sang by the Singles and the Parents of the Singles’ ;P

Then, coincidentally, we all have been already in 30s, and still being single! I didn’t mean to say that we are happy with that, but since I think it is not only me who is in that ‘status’, I felt safe.. he..he.. it was wrong I guess.. but, still.. I felt safe.. I’m not alone.. he..he..

They had a brilliant mind and career; averagely they are in the mid managerial level. Some of them have finished their master studies, and one of them still battling with PhD final dissertation in Italy. Then, it was not a chick-lit story, or Sex & The City style.. which I felt at the previous time would be a fully fiction by telling a story of 30s, success and being single.. This time it was real! Real indeed! We are in the stage of being 30s, have a nice career (excluding me, please, I’m still a cleaning service staff compare to them.. ;P), and.. still single!

Most people said that we are too picky and choosy in finding our soul-mate for our future marriage. By looking at our status right now, they believe that it is us who have a big problem, not the situation, not anyone’s else situation.. Sometimes I hope that in the future, the persons who said such a thing like that to us will have the same problem like us.. or at least have children that get a situation exactly like us.. Hey, it is not like Charlotte who said, “I cursed you on the day that you were born!” but it was just a reminding spell.. which I guess it will not work at all since we are not witch and don’t have enough talent to be a professional witch! ;P

So, 30s and being single.. what’s wrong with that?

It is not all wrong, indeed. The wrong thing is, when you are 30s, success, being single, and stop looking for your forever soul mate to be your spouse.. Yes, it is all wrong. Indiana Jones doesn’t stop hunting the treasure, since Harrison Ford was still 30s (but still handsome though he is already 65s now) through Indiana Jones I, II, III & IV.. So why do we have to stop instead? Doesn’t matter to be so picky or choosy, the important thing is, find your own happiness, not the other person’s happiness, but please consider the complaint from our own parents since (Damned! I don’t want to admit it, but I have to) their happiness is the part of our happiness too..

So, to all 30s, success and being single, I just want to say to you all (and myself of course), “Don’t stop to hunt until you finally found someone..

Or until the world stop turn around.. ;P
