On my 16th birthday, my mother decided to give me some advice on boyfriends. I learnt that he should come from a good family. I remember arguing that a person’s family doesn’t determine who they are.
In my twenties, I continued to receive advice from everyone about ‘settling down’. Apparently now, I needed to find someone from a good family, working, wealthy, intelligent. Yet, I shouldn’t be too picky.
But the wisest words were what my grandmother said to me a few years ago:
Find someone who treats you well and makes you happy.
What more can I ask for?
