How do I tell my family I don’t want to get married?

I don’t live with my parents, so this method was quite easy to pull up on them. Lol. When I turned 27, my parents started disturbing about meeting my boyfriend and all do that bull about marriage. I never want to get married, it’s just not my thing. So, whenever my parent wanted to talk about relationship and marriage, I always come up with excuses. I created an imaginary boyfriend, told them about him and even sent them some pictures. It worked to a point until they started requesting to meet him. What! Then I told them the relationship didn’t work out, so we broke up. I was repeating this until they couldn’t have it anymore, especially my mom, she was so pissed. I thought to simply tell them I am not just ready for marriage at that particular time, as I had lots of thing I needed to handle first. I still couldn’t tell them straight that I just don’t want to ever get married. That might make them so sad, their happiness matter to me. That excuse has been working for now, they have simply stopped asking me about marriage. Even when they visited me in LA where I stay, they only joked about me want to to be independent. When they stop taking that excuse, I’ll definitely find another excuse. But till then, I’m still unmarried…okrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Writer’s block could be so frustrating, I know this because I’ve been there. I had the support of a friend who encouraged me during that period. I stared writing everyday, I created a routine for myself. I write at a specific time everyday, it can be little but I made sure I was writing everyday. I chose a place free of distractions, including my phone. If you’re a lover of music, you can play a good song while writing. You can also get some exercise, it helps to relax. I also noticed when I don’t sleep well, I struggle with my writing ability. So, I started sleeping better, and I saw positive changes. One thing and probably the most important thing you want to do for yourself is to be patient. Don’t belittle yourself or be so hard on yourself. Keep moving at a pace you can sustain. You’re not doing this for anyone, you’re doing it for yourself.
