The phrase above struck me real hard when i was watching this korean drama “The man who can’t get married”, which was originally in japanese and i totally adore it. i decided to give the korean version a try cos i wanted to see how well they adapted the japanese version. the end result is that it’s ALMOST the same as the japanese one but given it’s 16 epsiodes length, there’re gonna be more to it rite?

anyway, i was watching this eps 3 and there’s this conversation about does being single make a person, male or female notwithstanding, uncomfortable? the main guy just replied,

“you’re feeling uncomfortable because you view it as an end in your life. but i chose not to and hence i’m comfortable about being single.”

well, it’s true isn’t it? given our upbringing, we have a tendency to view marriage as part of our life journey. When someone ask you, how come u’re still single, you feel awkward because it was known to you as a required stage in life. BUT it can be a passing stage in life actually. one need not feel like digging a hole and hiding in it when someone ask about your status.

i’m not saying that marriage is not necessary or singlehood is the best. i’m just advising everyone out there that single is not wrong. it’s just a choice, irregardless of whether it’s willingly or unwillingly. there are ppl who wants to be married but there are ppl who wants to remain single as well. don’t question why ppl are still single at this age but try to accept their choice? it’ll make the person happier.
