Less than what you deserve

By the standards of average south Asian marrying age, I married really late. I married when I was 33 years old. Not that I didn’t want to marry, but I just never found the right person. When it came to guys, I pushed my luck, even sometimes made up my mind to settle with less than what I deserve. But God just didn’t want it for me. So, by 30, since I had waited for quite a long, I just wasn’t ready to take anything less than what I deserved.

But instead of sulking over my loneliness and how I was still single, when I came back from work, I found other activities. I started spending on traveling, a lot of it, and that was probably the best thing to do. I started learning a lot more, and focused on swimming, biking and organizing meetups to explore the city. It did wonders for me. It’s so hard to start doing it initially, because you’re all alone, but a little of an effort, and trust me, the nature helps you. So keep all the faith, don’t accept anything less than what you deserve, and keep praying. When they say, ‘it’ll all work out in the end’, they ain’t lying. It does all work out in the end.
