One thing that makes being young and single difficult, is being told by my elders that one day I'll change my views on marriage/long-term relationships, and about having kids. Trying to force my way into thinking like them. They dismiss my beliefs as if I'm a flippant, silly young girl. I take myself and my beliefs damn serious, and its frustrating to be treated otherwise. To me its nice to get a different perspective about single hood later in life, not that I ever took my elders' perspective all that serious since most of them seem less than satisfied in their relationships.
