What "they" also fail to tell us is that when we deviate from the lifescript to figure out what we want rather than buy into what "they" say we should want, others are going to be unhappy. It's as if our choice to go a different route is an affront to their choices. The pressure is tremendous and you're right, many women have no idea what makes them happy. Women either have the trappings of happiness and wonder why they feel unfulfilled or we are so anxious about not having what everyone says will make them happy that they are miserable.<br /><br />Hee!

I still struggle with this but I'm trying to find what it is that makes me happy for me, regardless of whether I'm alone by default or design.Rishttp://www.missris.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087093335837785770.post-86184277304442338372010-06-25T06:15:27.164-07:002010-06-25T06:15:27.164-07:00Great points!

Especially for me, was that I had to realize that I wasn't always okay just because I'm in a relationship and I still have to work on myself and find my own way even when I'm with someone else.Windsor Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07058207048717310029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087093335837785770.post-29075570644624493042010-06-24T13:13:43.780-07:002010-06-24T13:13:43.780-07:00@Geekhiker I'm sure there is one out there.......@Geekhiker I'm sure there is one out there....in San Francisco.thecoconutdiarieshttp://thecoconutdiaries.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087093335837785770.post-35960304562092882832010-06-24T12:43:06.834-07:002010-06-24T12:43:06.834-07:00What I find interesting, after reading this post, ...What I find interesting, after reading this post, is that most of the feelings and pressures you talk about in this post are not unique to women. Guy's are encouraged to "settle down" and have a couple of kids (after the proscribed "wild years" which, of course, if you didn't have, you are ostracized as being a "loser"), find a career they love, seeking happiness in the wrong places (alcohol and wayward women, for example), etc.<br /><br />But, of course, we guys aren't allowed to talk about it. And we sure as hell can't have a "conference" about it!

Ie career. If something really is in her heart, even if it isn't the norm or a money maker, I want her to go for it. Happiness and contentment is something I wish someone would have taught me at a young age!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587186690785139860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087093335837785770.post-34361307202666484062010-06-24T06:40:16.410-07:002010-06-24T06:40:16.410-07:00I was always so thankful that I went through a per...I was always so thankful that I went through a period of assuming I'd never get married. It was during that time, I learned to find happiness by myself. It wasn't lonely or sad, but it was a happiness independent of other people. And because of it, I like to think I am a better version of myself now that I'm with Sweets.Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087093335837785770.post-15554709710718713392010-06-23T16:51:57.421-07:002010-06-23T16:51:57.421-07:00What a great post!

I'm learning to try to find happiness in the little things in life but sometimes the mind just doesn't want to see it. <br /><br />It's easy for people to see from the outside in that everything seems great and perfect when in reality, it's all just chaos. It's my responsibility to use this time to truly explore my inner self and try to get out of it a stronger, happier person.<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder...Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807642899458356423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087093335837785770.post-13826926588928538202010-06-23T14:38:35.152-07:002010-06-23T14:38:35.152-07:00Amen.

Because I know when I marry Mr. Darcy I do so knowing who I am. <br /><br />Deeper exploration of what makes us happy, inspires us, all of that stuff outside of taking care of other people- that's so important!Sizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00182860438430294750noreply@blogger.com
