When you're 35 and you don't have a stable partner in sight

How to deal with the avalanche of thoughts, doubts and questions when you have achieved success in each and every facet of your life…

You were a good daughter, an excellent student, you competed for a job, you positioned yourself professionally and you had several relationships that did not come to fruition.

And now you look around and you only see stable couples, you start to receive invitations to weddings from friends and family and the question is always the same “and when are you?” are you waiting?”, “you’re going to run out of rice”, “so much choosing, so much choosing and in the end…”, “you don’t want to look like your children’s grandmother!”, “everyone loves you but no one chooses you”, “in the end you are left to dress saints.”

The first thing you have to do is reflect on the type of companion you want for the journey of the rest of your life. And here the honest thing would be to think of someone who contributes equally to the couple, in this way the relationship will maintain a balance that will make you gain freedom.

How will you know if meeting someone with a balanced profile can be the perfect travel companion? Answering in full consciousness the following questions: What connects with me when I am with him? When I’m with him, do I become someone better? Is life better with him by my side? Can I still be myself 24 hours a day?

If the answer to these questions is positive, go ahead, if not, look elsewhere.

There is no rush, no matter how many men you have to discard, remember that it is one of the most important choices of your life and you cannot go against yourself.

Follow your inner GPS, it will take you to the best port, yours. And best of all, you will arrive at your own pace.

The important thing is not to reach the goal but to smile when you look back
