Today I’m in the Los Angeles studio of BBC’s Radio Five Live, debating whether it is okay to be single, partially in response to Kate Bolick’s article in The Atlantic (this question seemingly only applies to women since I don’t see anyone asking George Clooney if he’s worried about his status!) It’s crazy that we put so much emphasis as a society on marriage as an accomplishment. I recently got engaged and everyone keeps congratulating me on ‘the most important day of my life’. Call me crazy, but while I love my boyfriend very much, there are several days that will outrank my wedding day.
They include, in no particular order:
1) The Day My First Book Got Published
2) The Day I Lost My Virginity My First Orgasm
3) The Day Said Book Reached Bestseller List
4) The Day I Met My Boyfriend
5) The Day I Bought My First House
If I ever have children, I’m sure I’ll have to start a totally separate list. Is it weird that I’m just not that into weddings (well, except for the open bar?)
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?
I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
