I don't want anything to come and scatter my dreams for me, I am not going to get married, never! I have said this several times while I was growing up and I meant every word of it. Because, I knew getting married will be a distraction, it will hinder me from going to places I want to go, doing things I wanted to do. Aside from that, I saw my Dad treating my mum in an awful way which made me hated marriage.
Deep down, I always wish my mother should just run away but hell no! That woman stood her ground till today. I give her accolades each time but I always tell her it can never be me😂
But then, life they say is what happens when you are busy planning other things and I can't deny that. Right now I am at a particular stage in life that sometimes I sit and ask myself "this wasn't part of my plan, how did I get here"😅 or I say things that sounds like regrets "I would have been far by now" however, immediately I saw this month's prompt. I had a different view entirely, I realized I paid a price to be here today. Let's take quick look at what the prompt says
What Price did you pay to be who you are today? Do you regret having to pay that price?
I'm not gonna lie, getting married and having kids is one of the prices I paid because, one, I never saw myself getting married, even when I met my husband, I told him that he should forget about having something serious to do with me because I go serve am hot breakfast 😂 not knowing that bro was shuffling his cards well
Hehe! Look at me now, I am a wife and a mother today,most people were shocked to see me get married but it happened. And because of the kind of person I was and the decisions I made, my husband most at times thinks I sometimes regret getting married. Nah! I have never for once did even though I can't have access to most of my dreams, I am limited to making so many decisions now because I am married but I am say I regretted it
How can I ever regret being a mother or getting married, it is the price I paid for my kids to come into this world. Each time I look at them, I smile like someone who has won a lottery. I have no regrets whatsoever.
@kenechukwu97 believe me when I said this prompt gave me a different view of where I am today. Thank you for the topic

Wow, what a previous decision you made and see where you are today. Really curious about what changed? Why did you later changed ur mind? Hubby influenced you or you felt, you should?
This is indeed a sacrifice and look at this adorable kids you wanted to deny being in this world, hahaha
Good to read this aspect of price you paid
Change is constant indeed!
Hehe! Hubby influenced me oo 😂🫣
Love and light...
Wes...
Sure, thank you for for stopping by ☺️ I will do well to go through the community guidelines and adhere to it as well
Hahaha. This is me still with the decision that I am not ready to settle down because I haven't enjoyed my life as much as I wanted. Although marriage would stop some plans of ours, it is still one that one would be grateful for especially when you have kids and looking at them would bring smile on your face. Sometimes, life brings to us what we aren't ready for and that is to test how capable we are in handling them.
I guess that is what makes life life😂 it throws the opposite of what we want at us and how we accept this things defines is us.
We appreciate you taking the time, to either use #ThoughtfulDailyPost, or otherwise help this Community grow. So...
Thank you!!
Thank you 😊 and I appreciate you for having this wonderful community for people like me☺️
You know, I once mentioned to my mom that I don't want to get married or have kids, if you see how she shut me up eh, chai, I just knew this won't be a good decision. Today I want to get married but I'm still afraid of the uncertainties of having kids
Lol! My mum too did the same thing when I told her wasn't going to get married😂
The truth is, when the right person comes no one will tell you and having kids is amazing, trust me
The statement "I'm not getting married" I'm still holding unto it, so you are not the only one with the mentality but since you already got married probably I might reconsider too. marriage is not a child's play, it demands a lot of never ending sacrifices to protect your home and every other thing you cherish. Well I would have given you some advice but what do I know I'm yet to get married 😂
Haha! All I can say is that marriage is sweet only with the right person...so if you feel you have gotten you Mrs right, it's very important to reconsider
Please you better come back and give me that advice oo, it doesn't matter whether you are married or not....You might know something I don't know 😏
Wow... You would really be surprised to know that a lot of people are seriously telling themselves that "they will never get married". Haha. It's understandable though because a lot of marriages in this moment have become a laughing stock. Some are uninspiring and this makes marriage unappealing.
However, anyone that gets into it with the right person, just like you did, will always be proud of the decision.
I'm so glad you are happy about the price you had to pay. This is really inspiring.
Yeah, I still meet a lot of persons who still say that they won't get married but anything can happen just like it happened to me😂
Thank you for stopping ☺️
It is indeed wonderful how life made a sweet decision for you. The one you never saw coming and knowing you have no regrets makes things more interesting. I wish you a happy hone, dearest. You deserve it.
Yeah, you can say that again, I never saw it coming but it's worth living it.
Thank you 🤗
