Independently Free

I am the only daughter among my family. I am the girl with absolutely no men in her life. No father, no grandfather, no uncle of substance—except for my tiny brother of 2 years, I am man-less.

I like it that way, for the time being. I have learned to live my lifestyle and be happy without a male figure. My mother says having a husband wasn’t the greatest thing for her, and isn’t for every body. I can believe it. She looks at me and says I will one day make some one very happy.

I am prepared to wait. Possibly wait for a forever. But when if I do become a married woman, I don’t want to dissolve into a trophy wife with absolutely no substance, or even one of the beautiful and cruel women with no boundaries. I hope to become independent and free. No designated male or female obligations among us. Just him and I…when that day comes.
